A bird's eye view

This shot was taken from the 34th floor of the Chase building in downtown. The edge of Bricktown is just off to the very bottom left. There are still remnants of the sleet storm on the ground and tops of the buildings.

Hall of Mirrors

This is one lamp in the Hall of Mirrors inside the Civic Music Center in downtown OKC, reflected in the mirror. I love the art deco style.

Checking out the inside

This is the inside of the Skirvin Hilton Hotel. The front door is ahead and a little to the left. The view that's straight ahead is a cozy sitting area just between the restaurant and the entryway that looks out onto the street. The check in desk is just beyond the first pillars and to the left. The restaurant is to the extreme left, up at the front of the hotel. I think you can barely see the beginning of the top of the ceiling but I don't think I could capture the feeling of how spacious, yet intimate the room feels, due to the rugs and the large pillars. 

Skirvin Hilton

This is the Skirvin Hilton, One Park Ave (isn't that a great address), recently renovated and my favorite hotel. Until last night I had never been in it but I just love the unique look and feel of it. I hope some day to try the restaurant and maybe the piano bar, Park, that are housed there.

Downtown OKC

Oklahoma City has a particularly pretty downtown area. I haven't posted enough pictures of it because I don't really live very close but we were out today looking at wedding venues for my son and his fiancé, so I will have some interesting pictures to post in the next few days.

OU phone booth

I visited the University of Oklahoma campus last week. It's a very beautiful campus, scattered with sculptures and trees, and oddly enough, red phone booths. When was the last time you saw a phone booth? 

With eyes on the horizon...

Not being able to be in Washington D.C. with the two million people watching in person, I watched history in my living room with my dog, Ozzy, on my knee.
