Another shot from Pemaquid Point Lighthouse park in Bristol, Maine. I suppose the door on this little outbuilding can count for #Doorsday. Regretfully, I can’t remember what this building was used for back in the days before the lighthouse was automated, possible for the storage of lamp oil.

A digital photograph of a small red brick building with white trim and a shingle roof. The building is built on the rocks at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and may have been used for storage of lamp oil back in the day though I’m not positive. In the foreground there are slabs of rock with bright yellow lichen growing on them and a gnarled spruce tree in the righthand side of the frame. In the background the rocks descend down to the shoreline of the gulf of Maine and there is a point of land in the distance. The day is hazy; the horizon line is obscured and the sky appears white.

The rocks at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse for #TextureTuesday. I finally had the chance to visit Pemaquid Point in Bristol, Maine the other day when I happened to be in the area. I was really blown away by the fascinating and beautiful geology of the area around the lighthouse.

According to the Maine Geological Survey, the rocks here are mostly metamorphic with some igneous. The gray layered rock is called gneiss and it was originally sediments at the bottom of the ocean that were metamorphosed 360-415 million years ago into what you see here. The light gray/whitish igneous rock is called pegmatite.

A photograph of a geologically-interesting rocky shoreline with a cylindrical white lighthouse and keeper’s house in the background. The rocks are a grayish metamorphic rock called gneiss that is heavily striated due to its origins as a sedimentary rock with many layers. The stripes in the rock run perpendicular to the angle/location the photo was taken from. The rocks are not only banded but also have a slightly wavy or undulating appearance to them. On the right side of the frame there is a band of whitish-gray igneous rock called pegmatite that runs along top a high point in the rock. All of the lines in the rock look like they are running toward the lighthouse.

#BrunswickME Celebrate the outdoors on the big screen in Brunswick this #EarthDay

#EveningStarCinema will host screenings of "A Peace of Forest" from April 25 to May 1.

"EveningStar Cinema in Brunswick will celebrate Earth Day with screenings of '#APeaceOfForest,' a new nature #documentary made by Maine filmmakers about the state’s #wildlife.

"The movie theater will screen the film in the days following Earth Day, which is on April 22. There will be showings on April 25-27 and May 1.

"Husband-and-wife team Lee Ann and Thomas Mark Szelog shot the entire film within 70 acres of forest in #WhitefieldME, where they live.

" 'A Peace of Forest' is a compelling, feature-length film, celebrating the beauty and intimacy of wildlife in Maine,' according to a theater news release.

" 'This one-of-a-kind cinematic adventure showcases surprising, tender and exquisite interactions of wildlife during peaceful moments in Maine’s natural world.'

"The #Szelogs are award-winning #NaturePhotographers with 60 years of combined experience. They are also the authors of 'Our Point of View: Fourteen Years at a #MaineLighthouse' and “By a Maine River: A Year of Looking Closely.”
‘Become reacquainted with nature’s power’."

" 'A Peace of Forest' premiered in summer 2024 at the #LincolnTheater in Damariscotta. The showings at the EveningStar will be the first in Brunswick.

"The film is 'a wonderful opportunity for people to become reacquainted with nature’s power,' filmmaker Lee Ann Szelog said in an interview.

"Lee Ann Szelog described the film as 'quiet and peaceful.' The filmmaking duo relied on natural sounds with minimal narration in order to transport the viewer to a forest in Maine, she said.

" 'Our hope was to create a feature-length film that people could view as if they were sitting right next to us,' Lee Ann Szelog said.

"The Szelogs achieved this by setting up photography blinds and waiting for wildlife to appear.

"The film has been shown at #LocalTheaters all over Maine, including during an event last month at the University of Southern Maine’s Hannaford Hall in Portland.

" 'Working with these local community theaters has been such an honor,' Lee Ann Szelog said.

"The #EveningStarCinema in the #TontineMall has been showing films in Brunswick since 1979. Sean Hoessli and Lindie Kuzmich took over ownership of the theater in October 2024."
