A vista from a scenic overlook in western Oklahoma in February, with eastern redcedar, granite, the reservoir "Lake Lawtonka," and distant windfarm.

U.S. people are all-the-time calling reservoirs "lakes," but you should not correct them unless you want to get shot.

Yon windfarm is the Blue Canyon Wind Farm, which this article from 2022 says is the largest windfarm in Oklahoma.

-----------------------

In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, on February 16th, 2023, a view from the top of Mount Scott.

Lake Lawtonka is formed by a dam on Medicine Creek, which flows to East Cache Creek, which joins West Cache Creek to form Cache Creek, which flows to the Red River, which historically flowed to the Mississippi River, but now flows to the Atchafalaya River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

The rocks are Mount Scott Granite, part of the Wichita Granite Group, which was formed 533.24 to 515.6334 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the Cambrian period.
