Last Saturday afternoon late we had a late storm that barely missed town to the northwest. It looked awful ugly on the weather center radar but not bad if you were not right under it.

Skywatch Friday – Running for my Life
West Tulsa, along the river trail. The smoke is from a grass fire. I don’t know where the jet is from but that is what first caught my attention.
Skywatch Friday – Perspective
You know I really like the city I live in and sometimes I think it is a pretty big deal (or at least a sizeable middling big deal compared to other cities.) But then I get an opportunity to go hang out in the country and get a different view of things.

And you know it is an okay place to live but the big blue Oklahoma Sky is so much a bigger deal.

Skywatch Friday – End of the Day
We had a cold, windy, overcast, gray day all day Tuesday but toward the end the sun peeked out from underneath the clouds and reflected off the Arkansas River.

Skywatch Friday – West Tulsa Sunset
The other day I left downtown Tulsa after work and drove across the Arkansas River to do some geocaching and I caught this sunset with my Ipod. West Tulsa is on the wrong side of the river and the railroad tracks. I was at a park tucked just north of a cement plant, next to some Section 8 apartments and in between two refineries.
Yep, I felt pretty comfortable there. West Tulsa is what made Tulsa the Oil Capital of the World back in the day and it is still the “soul” of the city. Sure we have an opera and two world class museums and all sorts of other stuff. The money came from the oil wells, refineries, tank farms, power plants, railroad yards, trucking yards, and oilfield fabrication shops of west Tulsa: the wrong side of the river and the wrong side of the tracks and the most interesting part of town.

Skywatch Friday – Orangey Purpley Pink
A recent view of the western sky from office here in Tulsa. I can figure out if I like the deep blue or the orangey purply pink the most. Maybe I like both in the same photograph.
