Spectacular Red Granite At Red Beach Wharf Maine

in #travel7 years ago

Eastern Maine Has Amazing Red Beach Full Of  Beautiful Red Granite 

Near the town of Red Beach there are mile and miles of unique red granite beaches. Here, you can take a walk, or bike down the shore discovering all the different types of granite. The granite comes from molten lava over the centuries. It forms a red bedrock which breaks into pieces of granite.  The slower the lava cooled the more unique red granite it formed. The grain is a lot larger and one side is so clean that it's beauty shines.  Some of the nice large chunks of granite are left over from the 1800's and 1900's when there were quarrying operations here.  All over the east coast are monuments and buildings made from this fantastic rock.

Thank you @nakedchef89 and we will check out your post.

Interesting post
I have not seen and do not understand (granite).
Is it the same as jade?

Thank you very much for sending SBD to my account.

It's a very hard stone used to build structures that last or floors that don't wear out.

Lovely photo, I look forward to seeing some, as I am hoping to make to Maine next fall.

@sunscape thats great there seems to be several people on Steemit here in Maine.

Thank you for the support @afrikanprince

No problem!!

Granite is amazing - it's beauty - its application due to the hardness/density - the patterns.

When I travelled through Scotland a couple of years ago, I came across the city of Aberdeen, the oil capital of Scotland. It's nick name is Granite City - because most original structures were build with local granite... Hard work I'd say...

The color of these rocks reminded me instantly of Jordan's Petra - one of the world wonders... with its granite mountains to the west and its pink color all around.

But Maine will do for now... 😎

@globocop The work and effort there must have been amazing to see.

I haven't been there, yet... @exploretraveler . All in God's time.

Thanks for the nice wallet message. I appreciate it. Any way to make our mutual support going steady?

We will do our best to support our followers here each day. You can mess age @vetvso on steem chat if you want to purpose something.

Beautiful pics as always. ALSO, Thank you for the .01 Steem. I appreciate that very much exploretraveler. VOTED UP.

It's our pleasure to be able to share and we really appreciate your support. Thank you very much @crowe

First off - Thank you so much for the tip! This is such a giving community here on Steemit. My hope is to be able to pass on the generosity! Thank you for beginning this trend for me!

I have been there!!! It is such a unique place. The lava flow is under the ground (So I am told) and the granite actually takes form underground. But the Red Beach is an amazing place to take a walk and see the boulders of granite in its unfinished state. Half the fun of this place is getting there! Maine is an amazingly beautiful state!

Thank you very much @dswigle and today your photo was chosen to receive a free randowhale.

Thank for your one more wonderful gift once again.

I have been to Maine a couple of times for different projects, I have never seen the red granite, I guess I was too busy eating lobster! I will definitely keep an eye out for it next time! Thanks for the rewards! Truly appreciated!

Lot's of lobster here we didn't know lobster rolls could be so popular. Thank you for the comment and support.

It is really amazing..... yet in Sri Lanka too there's a rock of pink coloured granite called "rose thiruwana" means pink coloured thiruwana stones. It is also wonderful to see.
