Lookout Mountain, preferably on top of KTUL's roof

Unless you work there or know someone who does, good luck.  I've tried that with no success.

Some pics I have found or taken. 

  Not a skyline pic, but a great take of a standard view. By KellyKerr.net


By RamblingRed on flickr


Nice shot taken from Southern Hills I presume


One of mine taken just across the highway to the south of downtown


OMG! A space ship has landed in our downtown!


Another river view


Another of mine


An old one of mine just after the park was finished


For those grit and grunge fans... by jcali  on flickr


And by treetube on flickr, now this is some world class grit and grunge lol


Back to a shiny happy pic with another of mine

I love the pics of Tulsa's skyline. I use them as my computer wallpaper. Thanks for the new ones.
I really like the view from the West side of the Falls Apartments. 61st and Memorial.
I remember when I was growing up that the view from Turley hill was a good one, not sure about now though.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

For entire city views, 'Golf Ball Hill' has some great shots.

Where is this?

East of Harvard between 71st & 81st.  As you drive south from 71st, there's a road which climbs the hill on the east side of Harvard, approximately 1/3 of a mile south of 71st.  You will see it as you leave the stop light at 71st and should even see it as you pop over the hill at about 68th going south.  The "golf ball" is a water tower shaped like a golf ball and tee

Looks old, before all the sprawl south toward Bixby and southeast in Broken Arrow.

Or the Creek Turnpike...

the answer is looking north or northeast.

its definitely not looking west though.

Red Arrow

I think I can see the 71st St bridge over the Arkansas and the area around Woodland Hills Mall is developed so it's probably newer than 1980ish.  Make sure FOTD didn't mess with your mind by putting SW up instead of North.

Tulsa's skyline is hard to beat, but OKC is going to have a new skyline soon, they are putting up a new skyscraper that will be taller than the Tulsa's BOK tower height of 630' and OKC is also putting up other buildings downtown.

One gigantically tall building does not make a dynamic skyline.
