Above is a very poor photo of a building in downtown Tulsa owned by Tulsa Community College. The building is right on Boston Avenue and I’ve always been intrigued by the little projection it has over the street. Periodically I have wandered up there, acting like I belonged but the door from the inside to the deck outside has always been locked.
A couple weeks ago I was walking by on my noon stroll and I noticed a woman sitting up there. So hey, I went over and ventured up the elevator, found the door and there I was outside. I didn’t have my camera so I took some photos with my cell phone using a hdr app.
That is Boston Avenue Church way down there. It was the subject of my last Skywatch Friday post.
And here is a closeup.
And here is looking north again. We have some humongus parking lots here in Tulsa.
And going to the west to Holy Family Cathedral. Tulsa is unique in that we have a bunch of big churches downtown and they are thriving.
Anyway I stayed a while taking in the sights and then left.I guess I was legal. I didn’t see any no trespassing signs or anything. So I am going to be bring my Nikon some day.
I’m linking with Skywatch Friday
Planning to take part in Sky Watch. Our town looks like nothing like that.
Coffee is on
I’m glad you didn’t get arrested or anything. Those are some wonderful city scape shots.
I love the images that you have captured here. I love your sense of adventure and perseverance in checking on that door. Well done Yogi.

You got some fantastic photos from your new lookout station and you got to satisfy your curiosity at the same time! Have a wonderful weekend Yogi.
These are cool photos. Evidently that little projection was designed with photographers in mind, because you captured some great ones!
Great colours.
You make the parking lots look lovely! 😉
Great views from different angle. Boston Avenue Church and the Holy Family Cathedral are impressive.
I’d love to see more shots of downtown Tulsa. These just whet my appetite. Some impressive buildings – and, all those trees!
Beautiful city
Amazing pics.
great move! so worth being brave and venturing inside. gorgeous views.
Awesome perspective! Glad you’ve been persistent. Do you know why it’s usually locked now?
Great skyscapes! Have a good weekend.
It’ll be hard to improve over your cell phone!! Of course, it is who is behind the camera that is the difference maker…and you earned great creds…kudos..
Those pictures were great; love that you just walked out there like you owned the place! Good for you and thanks for sharing.
