If you notice, there are little black bumps on the pole. They are, in fact, birds. The horizontal poles are nicely filled with birds that are enjoying the view of the traffic below.

Daily photos from Oklahoma City and the surrounding metro area
Oklahoma is called the Sooner State, because when the state was opened up land was given away not by lottery but by land run, in a "shotgun start" style. At a certain time, all the settlers lined up at the starting line took off at a dead run and ran as fast as their buggies, coaches, buckboards, horses and legs could take them until they could find land that no one had claimed, 160 acres at a time. Unfortunately, not everyone waited for the starting shot and took off Sooner than they were supposed to: hence, the Sooner State. This bronze statue, actually a series of statues depicting the land run, is found along the canal in Bricktown, in downtown Oklahoma City (OKC) and when finished will be the largest bronze statuary in the world.

Nice blog! I lived in OKC from 1968 until 1972, when I went off to Oklahoma State. I live in DC now and haven't been back since my Dad died in the early 80s. Appears to have changed some since then. I'll be back to see more.
I hope you have a fantastic 2009, but don't stand under the pole!
