Best Skyline View in Tulsa

Unless it is in downtown Oklahoma Shitty

One gigantically tall building does not make a dynamic skyline.   

IMO, it will actually make for an unseemly one, since their next tallest building is nearly half the size.

That's if the building gets built to size.  Anyone remember the OneOK building here?

Okay, a few from my collection


From Hillcrest parking garage


I believe this is from a parking lot just East of the Uhaul, scanner did not scan in the white sky though


OSU East Parking lot

Shot between the Williams Towers


Not real sure where I was at when I took this one

Probably just east of the at&t central office.

Actually, you were about here

On the photo titled "shot between the Williams towers" that is my office window on the right.

That seems about right, just a bit further North.  That is the problem with 35mm, you go walking around an area taking pictures, then a few years later your scratching your head going "Now exactly where was I when I took this one?"

Ya know, that only narrows it down by about %50

One of these years, I'm going to get a camera with a GPS attachment. Until then, I satisfy myself with track logs from my GPS-enabled cell phone and software to match up the timestamps from the track and the camera and tag the photos.

Obviously, that's not so feasible with film.

That would be nice. I still dream of the day that I can afford a digital SLR

I don't know what you shoot, but I can say from experience Nikon refurbs are great. If I can ever scratch together the money for a D90, I'll have a D70s for sale with only about 8500 shutter cycles.

I've been using a canon eos that I picked up on clearance at wally world some years back.  Now I can't even afford to buy film, much less have it developed.  I always wanted to develop my own but haven't had the equipment or room to do so.  I haven't looked into the Nikons, and really don't even know what the digitals are capable of anymore.

Took this picture a while back at a park on 15th and Madison. I forgot what the name of the park is.



Same Location


Same Location








Also, don't mind my car in the remaining pictures.

This is located in Sapulpa on a hilltop. It's on Greenwood Assembly of God Church property. There is a massive monument of a cross (visible from the turnpike) and a gazebo for enjoying the view.



This is located on West Edison Street and North Frisco Street where a fire station is located. This is also the site of the old Abbott Mansion before it burned down. To this day, I find it very strange that a mansion dubbed a haunted house burned to the ground when it was located next door to a fire station.

Yep GPS would be the way to go, but you still have to point the camera in the correct direction. I think Tulsa's Skyline looks best from across the river looking east JMO. The two major  buildings that really make Tulsa's sklyine come to life is the BOK Tower & that green toped building (who's name escapes me) those two towers seem to work off of each other and balance the skyline. Without them the skyline would not stand out much. Other cities like Wichita, Kansas do not have much of a skyline due to the small size of the buildings, Omaha has a nice skyline but the large number of small buildings downtown do not show up from a distance, and all you see is the two tallest downtown skyscrapers. The Dallas skyline with the Reunion tower makes for great post card pictures. They say the skyline of Cincinatti is supposted to be one of the best skylines around, but I just do not see it. When it comes to skylines alot depends on the "Eye Of The Beholder" I guess.

I have some really great pictures from there as well... just don't have any idea what I did with my prints of em
