Taken for 52 Weeks the 2013 Edition Theme POST-APOCALYPTIC ~ Week 5, January 29th.
Let me say that I am married to the best man in the world. He is such a good sport, supporting me in all my photo adventures :) I did some post processing on this one to get an overall Apocalyptic feel to it. Will post the original as well.

p.s. Some of these themes and challenges are difficult but I am not one to shy away from a challenge. Hope this one suits the group.
This camera overlaps frames quite often. These looked good together.
I bought a bunch of rolls (30+) of Kodacolor Gold 400 on eBay for a little over a $1 a roll, all with expiration dates in 2016 and 2017 and this is the batch test for those rolls. Pretty good to my eye. I guess I'll be shooting a lot of Gold 400.

A drilling bit sits atop the gates on the road into the old Humble Gas Plant in the Tomball Oil Field, Tomball Texas The gate is now on Humble Road. Oil and gas production was an important part of Tomball's history.
From 1907 to 1933 Tomball was a shipping point on the railroad with most of the people primarily involved in farming and ranching activities. The coming of the railroad in 1906 was followed by a post office in 1908. The town acquired its first school in 1908 . In 1913, electric lights and telephone service became widely available in the little town. By 1914 Tomball had a population of 350, a bank, a blacksmith, several stores, six hotels, and two cotton gins. Charles F. Hoffman was an early settler who operated the first general store, and J. J. Trichel was postmaster.
Then In 1933 Tomball changed forever in just a day. On May 27, drillers struck oil west of town on the property of J. F. W. Kob. Almost overnight Tomball became a oil boom-town. In 1935, the original contract negotiated between Tomball and the Humble Oil and Refining Company (later Exxon ) gave free water and natural gas to Tomball residents for ninety years in exchange for drilling rights within the city limits. On July 6, 1933, Tomball, popularly known as "Oil Town U.S.A.," was incorporated with a population of 665. With the discovery of oil, however, this figure tripled. Soon there were twenty-five to thirty oil and gas companies producing within a five-mile radius of Tomball. Humble built a "camp" in Tomball which included housing, recreation facilities and other facilities for its workers. Tomball became famous as a city with free gas and water but no municipal cemetery. The hydrocarbon reservoirs played out and Exxon sold their interest in the late 1980s. There is still a little production from the field and the gas plant is still operational, however most of the field has now been abandoned.

After Brickworld I've made a few upgrades to some of my builds.
I've rearranged my PL's so that they are on the sides of the tracks, which is prototypically correct.

Just a note, my son is "posing," he's a very happy kid! He's a natural model.
I should use my 85mm f/1.2 more often. Works well indoors with somewhat stationary subjects :-)

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...
- Opeth (Black Rose Immortal)
