Photographer’s Note

The Quabbin reservoir in central Massachusetts has a bittersweet history. In 1938, four towns were relocated to flood this area into a water resource for the booming city of Boston. Although much care and effort went into the relocation, some remnants can be seen when the water level is low.

This trio of submerged rocks seem to have a life of their own due to the simmering veins of light. I think of them as paying homage to those who lived in these towns and whose memories now lie entombed.

Additional Note:
I sat on a partially submerged rock and gingerly used a series of stepping stones to get here, "into" the water. I used my elbows on my knees for the tripod and somehow exited without getting wet feet. KM
