I was driving along the Hefner Pkwy by the State Fair and the tower looked amazing! Wish I had my camera with me

[Pete]

Thanks metro!

This is another one of those photos where for a minute I didn't recognize our own skyline:

Unedited from this morning at the airport.

Awesome pic! The first one is amazing!

Skywest, what kind of lens are you using?

That's a beast!

The lens I would love to have for my camera is this:

50-200mm

I have to imagine it would take the same kind of pictures as your lens there...

One thing I hope, is when this tower goes live, the tower has some sort of cool lighting to it.

The buildings in downtown don't have no unique lighting to it, like other buildings in other cities. Take for example -

Something like that building in Dallas.

Go back in the thread and you will find all the lighting info. Blows that in Dallas AWAY.

Or, we can just tell you that the three inlets (or whatever you want to call them) on the tower will have lights running all the way up to the top of the tower AND they can be any color of the spectrum--unlike the bank tower in Dallas which is only ever green...

AWESOME! That's great news. If this building really comes alive in OKC, I wish others would look at the other towers and say, "we need to try and dwarf the Devon Tower," thus rebuilding all towers, for a more modern look.

The Chase Tower in Indianapolis was once ugly like the Chase Tower here. The whole facade got an upgrade and now it's like shiny reflective glass. I wish this could be done to our Chase tower, but I doubt the cowboy landlord will dishout the bucks to do that. Even a dark tinted all black facade would look awesome, I think...

Taken yesterday:

great shot!

I'm not so much concerned about the facade of the other buildings as much as I am about the height. The Devon tower really is going to look, and already does look, out of place in the skyline. It is so wide and will be so tall. Everything else looks tiny. We really need some more height and width going into the skyline to balance it out.

Did the usual video today of construction. I was south of the tower and a guy pulls up in front of me and gets out in the middle of the road and starts shooting pictures. I thought, "Hey I should say something to this guy." We start talking and he says, "OKCTalk right?" Turns out it was metro. What's the chance of that happening? I filmed him driving away though. Forever immortalized now.

I always wonder how many OKCTalkers I see as I look out my windows towards the tower and the Colcord. And how many of you see me seeing you?

[Thunder]

I saw you, Lauri, and waved at you. :-)

[Dulahey]

Creepy....

[UnFrSaKn]

...Thunder, are you one of the people who always asks me for money as they walk by?

I can't help but hang around the Colcord and compose it with the new tower. I stood around there on the East side for a while today. I wasn't trying to film into your window if you were worried.

Just a note, Tower Crane 1 is scheduled to jump 185' this weekend. The buck hoists will also jump. Tower Crane 4 will be dismantled starting Thursday.

No, but I did asked you to dance. :-)
