At least part of the new Interstate 40 in Oklahoma City could be open as soon as next month, officials said.

The state Transportation Department stopped short of naming a target date Wednesday, but spokeswoman Brenda Perry said lanes in one or both directions of the new freeway should be open sometime in January.

The construction project is ahead of schedule. Officials had long targeted 2012 as the year in which the new freeway would open, and of late had been saying it could be open by spring.

The new, 10-lane I-40 runs about five blocks south of the existing freeway — the aging and crumbling Crosstown Expressway — from the Interstate 44 junction to the junction with Interstates 35 and 235... FULL ARTICLE & WATCH VIDEO

Some stories are literal and obvious My son was there This sunset was pretty This Bear is in Captivity some are more obscure, I like the patterns in this puddle caused by rain drops or The interaction of light and shadow on this flower macro made me take this shot etc .But every image is an image of something and there is always a WHY. So, with your series, the WHY of every image is open to debate from third party viewers.The difference between fine art landscape photography and reportage are worlds apart. You have snapped your way across the State, and I like the series. Every one tells me why you took it. I can see either graphic, patterns or colorful stimuli, incongruity or statements of humanity. Over on my website I have started publishing a series of articles called The Language of Light, where I discuss these very issues, Photography as a Visual Language. Best wishes have a good trip.
