Nice pictures. I don't think I've ever seen the views from the Price Tower Arts Center.

Thank you. Well, my studio group was a decent amount of people so some of us entered the stairwell to have a little bit more room. I couldn't complain since I ended up going from the top of the tower to the bottom on Wright's exterior designed stairwell.

It's been well over 20 years since I've been to Bartlesville. Looks the same but always surprising.

I wonder how much infrastructure Tesco (parent of Phillips 66) still has there?

When I was a youngin' (elementary school) a family from Bartlesville moved into an apartment building just down the street. The boy my age became a good friend. That city's skyline is impressive for the size of the city. Good stuff, thanks for the pics.
