It’s been a while since the weather has been decent enough to go out for rides and take pictures. Here we have downtown OKC with the taller buildings in the clouds. This was the first decent warmish day in three weeks, but it was still cloudy and had been drizzling early in the morning.
Eagle Lake in Del City was still covered with a thin layer of ice, something I’ve not had a chance to see in a very long time. Keep in mind that the lake had been fairly warm all year up to the that blistering cold wave that rolled in late December. Thus, even with a week below freezing temperatures here, the lakes never froze over the hard. It would take a few weeks for the water to cool down enough to freeze over completely.
The resort and stuff under construction on the FAM site where the river crosses under Eastern Avenue is about halfway done. It will change the skyline significantly in OKC. And I’m still not touching the construction zone, but going around it by whatever means are available.
The OKC Parks and Rec have been working on the facilities at Draper Lake even through the cold weather. They’ve re-graveled the interior roads and put up strong cable fencing to keep people from trying to off-road in the area. This has been designated a nature preserve; more and more of the park is virtually off limits to everything except pedestrians and horses.
The lake levels are finally rising to their previous levels. They had been down for two years; I have no idea why. Still, it’s nice to see the water level coming back up.
It’s nice to see photos with fog or haze in them. You usually don’t see those in skyline photos unless it’s especially aesthetic, which they usually aren’t.
Nice to see pictures again from your locale. Beautiful blue sky!
Thanks, both of you.
