Large rusted spike lying on exposed Deer Isle granite.  A bit of history of what once was a working quarry.  Nature is once again reclaiming its own.  Trees are growing out from the fissures created by the quarry men who have now gone from this place.  On close examination you can see where the lichen  is beginning to take hold and will eventually hide the scared granite from sight.
