    I'm just relaying with the construction workers told me. As of right now it's anybody's guess.

    I was run off from taking skyline pics on top of the Century Center garage by their mall cop security guard, but not til after she made me get in my car and show her my ID. It's ridiculous.

    I've heard Devon is counting the small floor as a floor. If that's the case they would be putting up forms for floor 5. Guess we won't know for sure until someone steps in the elevator for the first time.

    I guess the only place to take pictures and not get run off is a public street or the Devon garage. That's nuts!

    As the building grows taller, I'll bet they'll start labeling floors somewhere around the exterior for the benefit of workers. I've seen that in other cities, I think. Maybe we'll be able to see those markings.

    No more embedded pics? only links?

    I would have embedded them, but they were full size and it would throw off the dimensions and the spread of this page. 3800 x XXXX is what I shoot at, so it would no-doubt mess the thread up and I don't have time to batch them in Photoshop and downsize to something more reasonable for embedding. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Those pictures were fantastic! I don't care how we get them. Thanks to you skywestokc and everyone who takes pictures and gets harassed in the effort. In some respect, it may be a good thing for Security to be careful considering our City history however it does seem a bit over the top. So, as may have said before, thanks so much for all the pictures. The site looks so different when we can see them up close through your lenses.

    Just an added note. The okctalks cam looks like the sites lights are off but the Oklahoman Skyline live cam shows the site all lit up. ????

    I think they changed the camera settings so it is darker and doesn't get washed out during the day. Which will give a penalty at night. But makes daylight viewing better.

    SkyWestOKC, you can try sending a PM to Pete to have him adjust the images to auto resize to about 600x600. It's in the Admin settings somewhere, unless vBulletin doesn't have that feature, then a simple installation of a mod to resize linked images.

    It's okay. My photo editing computer is off it's rocker right now and the internet isn't working for it, so I have to edit the photos on it, then transfer them to a jumpdrive, plug the jumpdrive into my netbook and upload. I am not in the mood to do all of that transferring, so I just go from my camera to the netbook. When I get my editing computer working again I don't mind resizing them myself and editing them a little bit. Netbooks are very convenient for travel, but they suck when it is your only lifeline to the internet for extended periods of time (weeks).

    Thanks to whomever reset the camera as it was before...I think it is better overall though the sunlight does make things washed out at times...but...loss of the night time view was not worth the trade-off. Mostly, the darker mode made the details more obscure within the building itself...

    That'd be great if someone could get a photo of the tower/skyline from a mile away or so - or can you even see it from the I-35 yet?

    You can't see it from I-35 yet.. maybe another month or so.. You can only see a couple floors right now when your on I-40 directly south of the tower...

    Ahh ok cool, I know some message boards automatically resize them, if this one doesn't then that was a good call

    I was gone all last week. Did anybody see how they moved the floor plates up to the next level?

    South core going up. I might go and take pictures tomorrow.

    Hey all, was in OKC this weekend and noted the building couldn't yet be seen from I-44 at the fairgrounds. Help keep those of us who are out of town informed!

    I drove past it and the tower is already higher than the Myriad Gardens (the white tube)!

    Took some pictures with the good camera at lunch today. Too many to upload here but you can look at them on my photobucket site.

    Thank God the camera is back up! I use both links often and I have never gotten any viruses...I do use a good anti-virus program, though.

    Glad to do it. The glare from the window in the elevator lobby is kind of bad but they put up the mesh screen across all the windows on the south side were cars are parked now so there is not an unobstructed view anywhere. I don't think the top floor is officially open yet but when it is I will go up there and get some more shots. It was really cool to watch them move one of the blue floor supports from one floor to the next. Good stuff! And now you can actually see into part of a complete floor.
