It is ironic to me that Oklahoma City got the Sonics away from Seattle.  I left Hawaii for Oklahoma City only to eventually move to Seattle (and not a minute too soon in my opinion that year).  I left my only child in Oklahoma City, although she was born, raised and schooled in Hawaii.  It has worked out ok for her but it just was not a place I had wanted to be.  Seattle is a good second choice to my one true love, Hawaii.  I have grown to love Seattle, kind of like one loves a second home.  Many places I remembered from my time in Oklahoma City were very much the same, while others had changed just a little.  I had been to Leadership Square in downtown OKC, but I had never noticed the sculpture outside the building.  As we were driving around commenting on the changes, I saw a bright red sculture down one of the streets and had to go around the block just to take pictures of it.  When you look at the pictures below you will understand why. 

I currently live a few short blocks from Seattle Center and the sculpture there has been a favorite of mine to shoot.  I think I have shot it every which way but from on top of it (since I am afraid of heights, that is not likely to happen).  The resemblance is striking, don’t you agree?
