Sunday morning walk on Arkansas River in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
South Side of the Jenks Pedestrian Bridge at dark thirty in the morning.
Started north. I'm a sucker for any kind of trail. This one is nice, asphalt and well lit, even at dark thirty.
Part of the woods between the trail and the river is eagle habitat. Stay out from November to the middle of March.
Went as far as the new Creek River Spirit Casino, open less than a month. Cost, reportedly about $195 million. 300,000 sqare feet of space. I've been watching them build this for a long time. Nope, I didn't drop in a few quarters before I turned around.
It's getting light, sun is coming up. Here is a picture of the eagle sanctuary. You can see the river through the trees.
I beg your indulgence here. My employer's natural gas pipeline crossing the river. My crew at work buys a lot of the gas that goes through this thing from thousands of gas wells in western Oklahoma. This pipeline is ultimately connected to almost all the gas pipelines in the United States. If you live in North America and have a natural gas line to your your house, it is connected to this line.
An hour after I started, a picture of the north side of the Jenks Bridge.
Check out Watery Wednesday for great photographs of water from around the world.

Thats cool I liked the build up and the tour of your town. I wonder if natural gas has bottomed yet? Nevermind that. Nice photos!
Dark thirty??? Guess I don't know that one. Anyway, your morning walk was very interesting, if not a bit scary on some of those paths at that time in the morning. Loved your pictures and comments. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your walks. You show us so many beautiful places.
Great shots as always Yogi.

Great shots! Well worth getting up at dark-thirty for!
beautiful shots. the lights are still on. great post.
Thanks for dragging us along. Those were awesome pics.
I actually know a little bit (a very little bit :-) about that pipe line. My ex-husband did survey work related to it in Western New England.
This was a very cool post. I'll have to come back again.
Thanks for sharing these and sharing the walk. I think I would have had to drop a few quarters at the casino. :-)
