Sometimes on the weekends I like to putt around in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/tashadoestulsa/pool/with/2301949241/">the TDT Flickr photo pool</a>, where dozens of local photographers have contributed hundreds of their photos.

I love the diversity I always find there. From reflections in the windows of ornate downtown buildings to horses barreling through a pasture, this group of photos does a pretty great job of describing the kind of place Tulsa is - both tame and wild, urban and rural, sophisticated and simple and unique from any other city in the world.

Here's a group of some of my most recent favorite shots.
