Beachcroft Trail, Champlain Mountain, Acadia National Park
... each step is a reminder of the turbulent geological times...
Granite rocks have seen it all in their long life...
Born deep down in the Earth's crust, under extreme pressure... and, at some point,
pushed onto the surface and scrapped to the basics by glaciers ...
Their crystals are coloring the ridges they helped create...
... attracting lichens, mosses, leafy minors... and finally, trees... looking for these slight cracks
which, with time, become soil-filled pools of life...
... into the clouds...
