Wandering through an abandoned quarry in Maine, I felt like I’d stepped into a natural meditation. Autumn color surrounded the still, glassy surface of the water. It was utterly calm—no wind, no sound—just the texture of stone and the presence of time.
The Watchful One
After photographing “Quarry Wall 1 & 2” across the way, I turned to find this curious shape: a lone rock rising from the water like a sail, a dorsal fin, or perhaps even a periscope. It felt animate—like a sentry standing guard for the submerged world below.
Nature’s Quiet Narrative
I imagined this rock had a purpose, a voice, and a story: watching visitors like me, quietly reporting back to its stone kin in the deep. Maybe it found peace in our silent presence too.
