Great pictures Glenn. Thank you for taking and posting The Lone Tree in Stillwater, OK. It's a beautiful picture. Thanks for showing the beauty that is found in Oklahoma. Jim
Thanks Sarah. I took that while working on a story about Native American students dealing with Covid and tech access issues. Drove all over the state for three days and got some good photos to boot.
As a lawyer and member of the Supreme Court bar, I rarely see a picture of that building that doesn’t move me. But of these, I like the first one best. I didn’t see the pedestrian at all the first time. And when I did the second time, I found the pedestrian only after examining the reflection in the puddle. On the house, I like that the abandoned cup on the sidewalk is within the frame.
The top photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day in midtown. Our son was performing in the parade and we went down to see him. Unfortunately, it was 16 degrees with a wind chill of around zero, and we couldn’t get close enough to the Macy’s stage to see the performance. I took the photo and several others I like while we were trying to find a place (eventually it was a bar that opened at 8 am) to stay warm. You can see more about the photo of the house in my response to Caitlin.
This was taken while I was working on a story about community violence in a town that was abandoned by GM more than 20 years ago. The town’s population declined dramatically; now there are more than 1,000 homes such as this one that have been identified for demolition.

I really love this idea, Glenn. The Stillwater shot is my favorite.

The abandoned house prompts so many questions about its story
