Now since most of you guys have never seen much of Oklahoma, might as well post some of my favourite architecture here.

Oklahoma City National Memorial:
Each empty chair represents the 168 people and the three unborn children are listed underneath their mothers.
We come here to remember Those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.
The Survivor Tree: An American Elm on the north side of the Memorial, this was the only shade tree in the parking lot across the street from the Murrah Building. Commuters arrived early to get one of the shady parking spots provided by its branches. Photos of Oklahoma City taken in the 1920s show the tree to be about 100 years old. [source]
Underneath the tree, it reads:
The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us.
Skydance Bridge
This is one of the coolest bridges. I've seen it several times. It's supposed to resemble a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.
Arcadia Round Barn:
I've seen this building many, many times but I've only been inside three times. Can you believe it's 120 years old?
Sam Noble Museum of Natural History:
Myriad Botanic Gardens:
The Crystal Bridge. Outside:
Inside:
I love the mix of nature and architecture.
