Photo of the Week
Welcome back to #PhotoOfTheWeek Friday, friends! Summer seems to have let its intense grip slip in the past week, and we don't mind it. We have a special one today from photographer Ryan Nolf. The Talimena Scenic Byway is one of the prettiest destinations around, and especially at the stunning Emerald Vista. It might look like an enchanted land from folklore, but southeast Oklahoma proves that sometimes reality can be as good as fiction.
*KNOCK KNOCK.* Who's there? *NEW PHOTO* New photo who? New #PhotoOfTheWeek Friday for all our adoring fans, that's who! Welcome back to our little end of the week kickoff club, where we spend a little time every Friday admiring the photographic work of readers like you. This week's subject is something a lot of you are sure to recognize: the iconic Round Barn in Arcadia. This cherished Route 66 sight was captured by POTW all-star Miji Yoon. When was the last time you visited the Round Barn?
The July chapter has closed and August has arrived in Oklahoma. With the changing month, some comparatively cooler weather has also arrived in much of the state. That's why for this #PhotoOfTheWeek we are throwing it back to a cooler time with a misty scene from photographer Michael Simonetti. This was taken in the morning hours at Beavers Bend State Park, and it looks like a place you might spot a unicorn or other fantastical fauna.
Hello friends! Welcome back to #PhotoOfTheWeek Friday. Here's a reminder to never take a sunset for granted. Photographer Ashley Holt snapped this warm evening sky above Sand Springs not long ago.
