We stood in awe of the tonal range in his prints and vowed to do better with our small digital cameras. No photography was allowed in the gallery but we then went up to the roof garden to take some snapshots of the skyline. In the first shot the tall building is the Devon Oil & Gas Building, the vaguely art deco building to the left is the county courthouse and the squat light colored building is the public library. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/DowntownOKC/W_L3004929DowntownDevon.jpg.html In the center foreground of the next shot is City Hall. I had never seen it from that angle. It looks almost like an empty facade, doesn't it? http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/DowntownOKC/W_L3004920DowntownCityHall.jpg.html The last shot shows the Civic Center Music Hall and the park in front of it that was filled with lovely old trees until the current design mafia decided they needed to go for a 'cleaner look'. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/DowntownOKC/W_L3004926DowntownMusicHall.jpg.html <sigh> Comments, photographic or political, warmly welcomed. --Bob
