We would probably see nothing, as what is normal resolution in 2032 would be too large a file for our 2012 computers to handle. By then it would probably be 3D Hologram images that you can touch and fully interact with.

View from the 35th floor looking southeast:



Will be a much better view when the mill is gone and something more interesting is in place.

This photo also shows what an incredible waste of opportunity Lower Bricktown turned out to be. Hogan is an idiot.

dude, you're killing my fantasy!

I do like the hologram idea, though. Ever read Clarke's 'The City And The Stars'?

It doesn't have to forever be that way...change can happen.

I wouldn't call him an idiot either. He's methodical, not speedy, and he's been slow to finance due to his smaller portfolio. Could someone have done better? Maybe, but at least he's maintained occupancy for the most part and he's a big proponent of on-street parking on Reno and other things that are good for Bricktown.

Anyway, back to Devon.

Other than a couple of brick warehouses and the Santa Fe, I think the mill is about the most interesting thing in that picture

[HangryHippo]

Well, I stand by my statement that Hogan left us with a monumental disappointment, but idiot was uncalled for. But there's not a doubt in my mind that someone else would have been better.

Tower from the tower:

dig that crazy curve at the top...

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Nothing special...I wish I had some free time at a better time of day and/or there were clouds in the sky.

Anyway...Had a few minutes today, so I stopped and took a few pictures.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Not a great pic, but I thought it looked cool.

[Dustin]

Love 'em! Nice shootin!

[Praedura]

very nice shots, OGTS! especially the second one -- it has a kind of "mythical" feel to it

[jbrown84]

THAT is soon going to be the best angle for ESPN live shots during Thunder games!!

The front garden & water features are now complete:



Image is looking E/SE from the front entrance.

Where are the piranhas?

Where are the piranhas?

I think the plan is to pump acid into the moat when the tower comes under siege.

Peraonally, I think sharks with lazer beams attached to their heads is a more effective deterrent.

Another highrise, preferably on the old Cox Convention Center site (wishful thinking) would do wonders for that shot! :-)

Or maybe irritable sea bass

[Praedura]

I've encountered some guppies with really bad attitudes...

[Praedura]

yep, just fill that moat with some angry guppies, and I think that nobody be messin' with the Devon folk!

Haven't been on this forum in a long time or read through this thread. I'm not sure if Steve has given an update on the official Devon Tower book. He brought an early copy at the RetroMetroOKC meeting this past Monday and gave everyone a sneak peek. It's a beautifully put together hard cover book that is large and has lot of photos and goes into great detail. About six of my photos made it into the book and I and others even got an honorable mention. I know there will be a book signing possibly next month. I would have to refer to Steve to give the details.

I'm thinking of hitting the streets again since the Skydance Bridge opened on my vacation next month. I don't know the extent of what I'll do but my Flickr needs some updating.

Will, we've missed you.

Look forward to you getting back into the swing, at least a little bit.

[dmoor82]

Great to have you back Will!
