Like Oklahoma City’s skyline, SkyDance Bridge pierces the expanding blue sky against horizons of waving wheat. Much of this capitol city and state’s history is defined by the sweeping Oklahoma wind. From images of the tall grass prairie to the achievements of Wiley Post, Braniff Airlines and Tinker Air Force Base, to the expanding wind farms in the west, sculpted blades rise up to slice the wind. Graceful boat sails glide across our countless lakes and waterways. The flight of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher perhaps best evokes the shaping forces of our wind. This State Bird’s “skydance” of spring is a v-shaped flight drawn against the sky. Its wings and tail feathers angled by nature cut like blades through the wind. So, it is from these that SkyDance Bridge takes foothold and projects its iconic form onto the Oklahoma City skyline.
