These are a series of still photos of a different stone being drop into the water. Unfortunately, I was a split second off capturing the big splash. See the video which did capture it.

The Big Splash
This video started out filming construction operations around the pile of medium sizes stone at the staging area. The crane has a clamshell bucket which it is using to grab stone from the pile. An excavator is moving the stone from where the dump trucks are depositing it to another part of pile where the crane can grab. While this was all going, the big comes down the beach towards the Merrimack River with a large stone in its claw. It drives to the waters edge, turns toward the camera and then drives through the water. It stops rotates around and drops the stone into the water creating a dramatic splash! At points, I think some of the construction crew are aware of camera and a little something extra for the audience.
