Attempted to catch the liveliness of the Harbourside as people do their socialising outdoors while they can. Not sure it quite succeeded.
Almost didn't post it because that sky was starting to give me c. ~2008 primitive HDR vibes, despite the processing not being all that strong on this. Maybe I should have overprocessed it just to avoid that...

I headed over to Kev's garage yesterday to lend a hand doing some work on his E30s. I looked outside and realized i haven't snapped any pictures of my car since i made a few minor changes over the winter. Here she is as it sits for now.
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.

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!
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.
Le Poste svizzere usano anche oggi massicciamente il treno per trasportare i colli più disparati; vengono spediti anche oggetti deperibili (alimentari in genere) grazie all'uso di appositi carri refrigerati (come quello che si scorge in coda a questo treno). Vediamo una immancabile Re4/4 mentre si dirige a Cadenazzo, sede di un centro di smistaggio posta, con un piccolo convoglio formato da 5 carri a due assi, in transito presso Biasca.
The Swiss post travels today by train with a lot of special yellow wagons dedicated to this service. We see a Re4/4 hauling a short postal train to Cadenazzo (base of a big postal center), here passing near Biasca.
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.
Chapter 2013, Page 30
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.
Second try at making some Post Apocalyptic Survivor Decals. This time its a Male and Female companions.
