This quaint post office serves as a hub for the surrounding community. As I'm posting photos to Flickr, the Canada Post strike enters its second week.

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.

It's the last game of the 2022 season at Wintrust Field. The game is over and the Schaumburg Boomers have won. It's the Frontier League Championship series and this would be the Boomers' only victory in the series against Quebec Les Capitals.
Haven't recently really done a lot of dramatic post processing, other than typical color corrections. With a little free time, I've been playing around in Lightroom trying to achieve different effects.
Enjoy on Black and tell me what you think!

Day 101 - Post-Apoc Biker
I'm still catching up on photos, but thought I'd post them as I get some done. I have around 35 figures to pose and take images of, so it'll be a little time!
Well, this weekend I will be opening my store, and this is a little hint at one item that will be added to my inventory ;) This design will not be available, however, I have plenty more where that came from! Hope you enjoy!
Post 2 of 5-Day Split Tone Challenge
This White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) can be seen all over Tampa Bay on lawns and at the water's edge probing for food.
I think that this might have once been a bus stop - but the busses don't go this way now. The notice says the a light controlled crossing is to be installed.
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.

The General's Residence was demolished on 8/25/2020 to make room for a replica building. During the demo, the architect supervised the removal of significant features such as these beams and posts. These pieces will be used in the reconstruction or kept for other display.
