It was light up in blue all night last night. I actually think the blue should be the default. The faded blue crown looked like a natural gas flame from a distance. Looked very good.
First National looks like a haunted abandoned building in this photo
Yeah, thanks to what's his name. Yes, I know the owner's name, but I am going to refer to him as what's his name. He has seriously hampered an important part of Oklahoma City's renaissance with one of our most treasured landmarks. Him actually trying to hold on to this building is like pouring salt in an open wound. Just what is he trying to accomplish? Is he really trying to save face with Oklahoma City's people? He doesn't have any face to save. He clawed it off like the scientist in 'Poltergeist'.
Continue the Renaissance!!!
So who or what entity in OKC has the deep pockets to buy and renovate this beautiful building? I think an out-of-state owner just would not care about this building the way a local person would.
They probably burned out and they're late on fixing it. Just like every other buisness in this city.. lol
I tried to give it an old timey feel...with very modern subjects. =)

Last night I was down at the arena picking up some tickets and noticed they have scaffolding attached to Devon on the east side where the windows were damaged. It appears they are replacing those that have been missing since the Crane broke them.
Thanks bullbear for the windows update. Really glad they are finally getting to fix that messed up area.

Shot some more night photos tonight, with First National lit up. Barely noticeable though. Mainly in the shot with Devon, FN, and Ramsey tower. The "haunted building" photo.
A couple of very cool shots:
Follow the link to the high res version on the first pic -- you can dang near see some of the interior offices through the windows! (well, the ceilings anyway)

Not about the devon tower, but Robinson looks terrible here...looks like just abunch of concrete...
Awesome vantage point though, love the pic thanks for sharing.
