One Extreme to the Other

We have been having storms in Oklahoma. Twenty five or more tornadoes last weekend causing lots of devastation in some places. In Tulsa we have had lots of rain. No tornadoes though.

From 50 meters over house looking northeast. Ominous clouds. The greenbelt is flooded (by design.)

Looking west. More clouds.

Monday was a great day!! I went on a bike ride on the Arkansas RiverParks trails. This is where I started, close to the south end. That is Turkey Mountain across the river there. I know, it doesn’t look like a mountain but Turkey Mountain sounds better than Turkey Hill don’t you think?

Looking across the river to the Tulsa Power Station. It hardly ever runs. It looks like they have it up and going.

And then one of the refineries on the river.

And then from the other side of the river looking toward downtown.

And toward midtown.

Since then we have had more rain!! I’ll take the sun and the rain but you can keep the tornadoes. There might be a song in there somewhere?

I’m linking with Skywatch Friday

    I’ve been seeing them on the news. Glad to know you haven’t been hit by these tornadoes, only the sunshine and rain. “I’ll take the sun and the rain but you can keep the tornadoes.” Definitely a great line for a country song. 🙂

    I saw the tornadoes on tv. It’s really awful. I like all your pictures. The sunny ones with the reflections are beautiful

    Good, that you are right, nobody need tornadoes!
    Great reflections and: bad waether clouds are very photogenic.
    Have a great weekend

    Spring out there certainly has its moments and it seems the tornadoes get stronger with each passing year. It’s a scary thought. Nice reflections on the downtown and midtown buildings.
