Description
I'm not sure if this should really go in People, Objects, or possibly Sequential? Anyway, I've posted pictures of my rock-balancing for a while, and a couple of people asked for people in there for scale. Well, this one is actually combining 3 pictures taken by a friend of mine, as I'm putting on the last couple of rocks in this stack. It's not quite as tall as me, but reaches slightly above my eye-level. (For those of you who wish to know, I'm around 5' 8" I think) and is made of 15 individual rocks, counting the bottom-most one on the ground. I hope to eventually make a stack as tall as me.
Oh, and yes, I'm actually barefoot as I do these. You have to be nimble to get out of the way of a toppling stack, and I'm quickest in bare feet.
Thanks for looking it over, I think I'm having almost as much fun sharing these pictures as I am making these stacks, and that's saying something!
enjoy!

Amazing rock balancing!! You actually do this!!! I have never seen this before. Wonderful collage and shots. Bare feet is best :-) Balance is better for you in bare feet!! It is. Super work from you. Diane.

You know they stick metal rods in the middle of stone stacks here and flog em off as garden ornaments charging a crap loada money for it?!! Start drilling them rocks and you could have your very own "Au natural' garden ornaments" store lol Stuff aside, Well done on the balancing :D

hmmm, i think i might try this. I remember seeing a doco ages ago about an artist who would build egg shaped sculptures out of slate and shale on beaches (in scoltland i think it was.). He'd then film them in time lapse as the tide would come in then recede. Amazing doco. Great pix, ty.

Um...okaaaay. I have NEVER heard of such a sport. But you know, whatever makes your boat float, or rocks balance...I always say. Kidding aside, this is really a great photo of an unusual hobby. Fantastic! Getting the rocks to balance on that fifth stone from the bottom had to be quite a feat.

Positively great idea and realisation ! This piece could be titled "Looking for equilibrium" > sounds Sci-Fi, no ? Keep on but avoid earthquakes...

SecondChoice
hm. what a nice activity. i myself build dry-walls from time to time. so i have an idea how difficult it could be to place stones exactly on one another that they do not move. it's a kind of meditation what You do, i guess! nice work!

Great rock balancing technique, it must require patience and steady hands. Just a feeling of regret when you have to send it tumbling down hey? Tony :-)
