There are industrial parks on every corner in East Texas – several in Kilgore, in fact – but there’s only one so lovely you’d consider it an ideal place for a lunch-break picnic.
Who could imagine you’d ever have an industrial park on your list of “must see” places for out-of-town visitors? We love Synergy Park.

What makes this “vertical” aerial photograph so unique is that the detail is so sharp that individual football players can plainly be seen working out on the practice field of Kilgore High School and power lines are clearly visible.

However, there is much more to the process than simply shooting an image straight down through the belly of the airplane.
