Lights

 I haven't figured out how to capture Christmas Lights properly. It's a work in progress.

In the Night Time

Well eight hundred million people
With nothing to say
They run around in circles
They just living the day
Stick with me baby
I'll show you how to fly
We'll make some pretty music
Watch the world go by

In the night time
Oh that's the right time
I say the night time
That's the right time
I wanna be with you

In the night time

-George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers

I love this view of the city

Is it just me or does everyone read it as "Chesapeake Arena Energy" instead of "Chesapeake Energy Arena."?

The falls are a new addition to the Myriad Gardens

This view is from the top of the parking garage overlooking Bricktown

The grass is blue from the neon of the Devon Boathouse

See, blue neon, see, I told you it was blue.

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

One of my favorite places to visit has always been the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. It's a 90 minute drive down from OKC, located just outside of Lawton. The middle of October and it was 90 degrees. There are tons of trails and you can always see some buffalo or wild longhorns. It's burned up pretty bad from the wildfires, it'll take a while for it to recover.

Colorado Balloon Festival

 Whatever happened to Oklahoma City's balloon festival? Is it always so windy they could never get off the ground? I know there is one in Poteau every year. Anyways, here are some photos I took of the Balloon festival in Colorado Springs over the Labor Day Weekend.

Think cool thoughts

More Metro Retro Conversions

I went out in the hot hot heat over the weekend because I was bored. I won't make that mistake again. I took a few photos from the Retro Metro website and did a few more blends.

The first one I really had to do some major photoshop work. It is basically impossible to get a straight on shot of this building as it stands now because of the trees. So I took it from a far right angle, then did a perspective correction, straightened, and resized to get the correct angle so I could clone the old photo on top. 

The other two were much easier. More when it cools off. As always, click on the picture for a larger version.

Took a short trip to Colorado, first chance I have had in a while to break out the old Canon. I promise to start taking photos in Oklahoma again soon.

I call this one "The Creep"

I forgot to bring the tripod, so this one was taken resting on a rock

What can I say...

I love taking pictures of dogs

This is one of my favorite pictures of Pikes Peak

Weather turned a little cold

But it was a lovely day.

Some "Then and Now" and a Now

I saw a couple of photo's on Steve Lackmeyer's OKC Central blog that came from the Retro Metro Oklahoma City website and thought I would blend them together for a different take on "Then and Now." I also added a new downtown photo that shows the progress of the Devon Energy Center..
