Norman, OK: The Land of Water Towers

I live in Norman, Oklahoma now and there are a lot of water towers in this town.

Water towers posses a humble beauty that feels equal parts commercial (color photos) and rustic (black and white). Dotting the flat plains skyline, there seems to be a faint air of pride about them. Here are all the water towers in Norman.

E. Lindsey, at the railroad tracks.
The only city-sanctioned water tower not emblazoned with "NORMAN." Appears to be the oldest.
