Weekend Reflections – Tulsa River Parks Edition

The Tulsa River Parks Authority has “Tulsa Townies” bicycle stations at two places on the River Parks.

You pick out your bicycle and then use your credit card to unlock it from the unattended solar powered  station.

The bikes are free if you return them in 24 hours. If you don’t you just got yourself a $100 bicycle.

I’ve never used them but they get sold out on nice weekends. I think that it is a great idea.

Weekend Reflections Devon Tower

A coworker and I went to Oklahoma City Thursday to visit customers and go to a gas industry luncheon. We got downtown a little early so we wandered over to the Devon Building in search of a cup of coffee. The  building was just completed in March. In the lobby they have a spectacular reflecting pool. I was really fascinated by it.

Awesomized

The water is less than an inch deep and I love its wrapped around design. I’ll be coming back when I have more time and a better camera as all I had was my Ipod Touch.

I’ll be taking more pictures of the exterior. The photo below was taken about this time last year. 

Devon Tower 1

The building is really striking. It is about 850 feet tall and dominates the skyline for miles around. There will be an restaurant, open to the public, at the top that is opening soon. I hope the food will be able to match the view.

Friday Reflections – Chihuly Garden and Glass – Seattle

Chihuly Garden and Glass is in Seattle at the base of the Space Needle. It is dedicated to the glass artist Dale Chihuly and it is simply amazing. If you go make sure that you have plenty of time and that your camera is fully charged. It is simply amazing. The place is brand new and has room to grow.

We went through the galleries and gardens twice and still didn’t think we saw everything.
