Best Skyline View in Tulsa

[custosnox]

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.

I personally don't like shots from the West and South of downtown because that ugly, round apartment buidling gets in the picture.  I've always disliked that monstrosity.
The green topped (copper actually) is the Mid-continent building, originally the Cosden building.  I like the clock on the outside of it personally.  The Phil Tower next door, IMO, lends a unique look to the skyline with the multi-colored panaling.

OK thanks for the info. Yes Mid- Continent is the building I was thinking about. Many people think that round apartment building on the west helps make the Tulsa Skyline, and other people don't like it- That round building is on many Tulsa skyline pictures. "Tulsa People" mag did a story last summer called "On Top Of Tulsa" and they visited the top floors of  Tulsa's major skyscrapers and they said the top floor of the BOK tower is a garden or greenhouse, I always thought there was a restaurant there..

Turismo, that's Maple Park created when they tore down homes for the Cincinnati exit off the BA. I have some great pics from there and a wonderful memory of watching a laser light show, in 2000 I think, that bounced them off the buildings.

One of those homes would have been mine when I was 5, as I lived until that time at the 1400 block of S. Elgin.  We got to go through that whole buyout process.  My parents said it was a mess.

It's a view of a Skyline in Tulsa. (OK, it's really an Infiniti G35, but it's the same thing)

The Summit Club had a location there in the '90s. My wife's cousin had his wedding reception there in 1992.

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

That is Maple Park..which has more oaks and ever greens than maples.

I think a good skyline shot right now would be on the Midland Valley trail extension east of 15th/West of Peoria. The redbud trees on the IDL embankment are all in bloom.

If there is one good thing about the IDL it's that it is well-landscaped, at least at the SE interchange with the BA.  The pine and redbud trees they planted there many years ago look really good.  More interchanges in this city could use that kind of landscaping, especially the SW corner of the IDL where that concrete embankment next to OSU hospital is located.

I guess it's better than having the window open in the sun lite.

Sure, if you want to get the inside of your car wet.

Hey, guys. I am creating a PS3 theme for Tulsa, and I need good quality pictures of downtown Tulsa, as well as sights throughout the city, that will show the beauty of the city. If the photos aren't copyrighted, shoot them my way; make sure they are +1.0MB in size (since I want the photos to look good on even +40" TVs), and send them to fr.justin.baldwin@gmail.com.
