Screw Auger Falls Upper
A crisp autumn day at the Screw Auger Falls of Grafton Notch where glacier meltwater streams over course-grained granite boulders (pegmatite) with large masses of quartz, feldspar, and mica, along with metamorphic rocks.
Beyond the waterfall, the eye drifts easily upstream, lost in the colorful turn of leaves among Conifers like Red Spruce and Eastern Hemlock sharing Bear River with Northern Hardwoods like American Beech and Yellow Birch whose leaves float down, lining the rock shore.

Screw Auger Falls with Cave
Take a seat next to the main plunge of Screw Auger Falls of Grafton Notch where this overlook captures the roar of whitewater as it falls from the broad granite ledge into the gorge below.
After tumbling from the lip of the granite ledge, often trapping birch logs and other branches, Bear River’s foamy rush slows, meandering through giant boulders and deep pot holes, shallow pools and lichen-streaked grottoes as glacier melt drifts on through the rocky landscape. In the foreground, nascent Sweet Birch burrow into the soil while across the chasm, a solitary Eastern White Pine sways in the wind.

Screw Auger Falls with Pool
Overlooking the top of this 23-foot waterfall at Bear River, a crystal clear pool filled to the brim cascades down the rocks below. Above the grotto’s entrance, the weathered grooves in the rock wall are teeming with lichen and patches of green-brown and yellow-green moss.
The pooling water reflects the morning sky and the branches hovering over the rock-cut basin. Underneath the crystal surface of the pool, pebbles and sand catch the angle of the sun, casting shadows and light underneath the rumble of gushing water.

Screw Auger Falls with Birch Lines
A shallow strip of glacier meltwater runs over the granite bedrock in this quiet autumn morning. In the foreground, compressed into the ancient rock, narrow quartz lines mirror two equally thin and white trunks leaning towards each other upriver.
The forest’s makeshift portal beautifully juxtaposes the homothetic (self-referral) growth of birch trees vis-à-vis the hydrothermal crystallization of mineral-rich fluids that precipitate vein formation in course-grained granite. Despite the chasm between temporal scales, the brook’s murmur echoes among the leaves of American Beech and Cherry Birch trees.

Ocean Notch on the New England Coast
Framing a distant seascape view, the jagged cliff line on Mount Desert Island reveals its rugged granite coastline. This crisp morning overlooks an ocean notch along the steep coastline where the roar of the tide, among the strongest in the world, shoots up the vertical rock wall and booms inland.
Exposed to the coastal winds, Red and White Spruce, along with White Pine, dot the headland and distant inlets as the tide buffets the rocky shore. Down below, crushed by the surf, broken shells and the skeletons of crabs, mussels, sea urchins and other marine life churn among the pebble and sand detritus.

Inca Falls, Cadillac Mountains
The peaceful and audible trickle of water along the this face of Cadillac Mountain Granite displays a wide range of textures on the oldest granite bodies (approx. 420 million years old) in Mount Desert Island.
A feast of colorful texture, the fault lines in the stone, outlined in solid rectangular masses of granite, range from sunbaked sandstone to dark green bronze that glisten with sunlit speckles dancing over thin layers of algae. On the right, green-yellow lichen dots the granite as the wind buffets a treeline of Maine Spruce.
