Lady in the wind

This was taken at the capitol building in Oklahoma City and displays the great use of landscape design to greatly help out the Indian woman statue. This picture has been distorted a bit in photoshop so it's a little more grainy then the original but the idea is the same. I really like how they used the grass to simulate her out on the prairie as it really shows off what most of Oklahoma is actually like. Once again, this was taken from my trip to Oklahoma over the summer like the last picture.

Memorial



So visiting the Oklahoma bombing memorial at night was probably one of the best things I did while in Oklahoma City over the summer. This night the weather was just perfect with the water making the area around the entire memorial really comfortable. It was probably the best possible temperature and setting to sit down and take a couple hundred time lapsed night photos. This photo is just one of the many that I took that night that really seems to capture the beautiful setting of this very well designed memorial. For those of you out there who still don't know what Landscape Architecture is this picture is probably a perfect example of the things we do. This is probably design at its best. Anyways, I'll let you all now just sit back and enjoy the great summer night in front of the reflecting pool.
