  1. I had originally hoped to get into the Barton Garnet Mine to shoot a macroGigaPan of the famous Gore Mountain garnets, but unfortunately I was a little too early in the season. The garnets at the locality featured here are from a now-abandoned garnet mine in the area that is currently located on state lands. The garnet...

  2. This is the main quarry at Gore Mountain famous for its huge almandine garnets. The host rock is an amphibolite that experienced granuite or near granulite facies metamorphism. The dark color of the rock comes from the mineral hornblende, which is abundant, along with the red garnet porphyroblasts and less abundant whi...

  3. Shot during one of the sunny interludes during the shooting of www.gigapan.org/gigapans/86334/ This GigaPan is a restitch of www.gigapan.org/gigapans/86338

  4. This is the wide view of a roadcut in diopside-rich metasedimentary rocks south of Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks. A second macroGigaPan of a portion near the south end of this outcrop is also uploading.

  5. This is the detailed view of diopside-rich metasedimentary rocks in a roadcut south of Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks. Another GigaPan showing the wider view of this roadcut is also uploading.

  6. State Route 3 through the northern Adirondacks is know to geologists as "The Anorthosite Highway" because of its spectacular cuts throught the Marcy Massif anorthosite unit. This is the third of a series of three GigaPans I shot at this roadcut to illustate the anorthosite at a range of scales.

  9. Roaring Brook on Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks holds a special place in my heart because it was the site (a bit further upstream) of my first geology research project, undertaken as an undergrad at Colgate University. The falls occur where the hanging valley of Roaring Brook joins the main valley of the Auasble Ri...

  10. I got up early enough to shoot this GigaPan before the wind came up and disrupted the mirror-like surface of Chapel Pond in the eastern Adirondacks.
