Diana’s Baths, New Hampshire, USA

Tucked into the forests of New Hampshire, Sculptured Rocks Natural Area is a geological gem where water has carved dramatic forms into solid granite over millennia. The Cockermouth River flows through this rocky gorge, creating a network of smooth channels, basins, and ledges polished by centuries of movement. The surrounding forest adds serenity and shade, framing each pool and cascade in green. For artists, this site offers bold natural design — hard and fluid elements in perfect contrast. These references are ideal for practicing water textures, rock shapes, and layered light. Let the interplay of rushing current and sculpted stone guide your brush through rhythm, depth, and detail.
