A rare shot of the early petroleum industry which a friend from California recently sent me. He spent his entire career as an employee at a refinery in Long Beach, California. He's one of my favorite Flickr friends and has been so for years.

Over about 10 years, the town of Piermont, New York has undergone an amazing transformation from being a down and out blue collar town with an abandoned paper factory which had been operating since the early 1900s to a place with fancy restaurants, boutiques, and multimillion dollar townhomes with direct Hudson River views.
This view shows the town in a transformation state. Most of the old paper plant was torn down and the remainder was painted yellow to look unintrusive. The octagonal building at right was brand new. Today, it's a restaurant which hosts an endless array of weddings.
The Piermont Pier protruding into the Hudson River was significantly more green than now. The trees grew tall, thick and wild. I also clearly recall the remnants of old railroad tracks leading from the paper plant to the Hudson River. It was once used to bring in supplies and move out finished products to ships docked at the end of the pier.
