Description
Once again the sun came up, and the internet went down. At least this time the "help" desk believed me and scheduled a repair technician to fix the blasted thing...
So while I re-discovered how I lived the first 30 years of my life without the internet, I ended up doing this. What could be more relaxing?
Only problem was, after taking shots of the whole assemblage, and then highlighting individual stacks, I just couldn't pick which one to share, and so I ended up with this huge collage. Still, it's a good way of seeing the total arrangement and how it was all put together, I suppose.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you all had a more productive day than I.

outstanding balancing
I have no idea how you manage that. A steady and and patience, I guess. And maybe no wind. Very impressive!
They look like anthropomorphic beings made of stone! A work of imagination and discipline.
You could probably have lots of fun on Halloween, going about town and placing stacks of rocks in random yards. Kind of a 'crop circle' thing. I like the one in the middle!
Wow! A feast for the eyes! I love seeing these from different angles. In the full view, there's one that looks sort of like a chicken. The close in shot from another angle doesn't look like a chicken at all. Something about the internet going down when the weather is nice seems like a good deal to me! LOL!
And I feel like I've accomplished something when I can get a nickle to stand on end:) Amazing rock stacking hobby... Taking their pictures must be easy by comparison.
Knowing a gust of wind and you'll be back at it once again...lol.. You are the master of rock stacking!.....
Brilliant , very clever.
I cannot choose either, they are all so special characters. Fantastic together.
More productive? Maybe... More relaxing? No way! Trust me - I'd much rather have been balancing rocks than having my butt handed to me by 20 production-print digital presses.... This is really so cool, Mike! Looking at these, it gives me the feeling it's a kind of Zen thing. I still think you're getting help from space aliens, though... :-D

You ought to be doing this as museum pieces. Truly! (PS. I couldn't decide, either.)
I love this collage. Clever work! Also I like your title. That's my 'problem' often too ;-)
Awesome collage - and most amazing result with making stones weightless... :D I do admire your skills and patience! Vashek
OHH how I love them all.
Hope your internet goes out more often...well, not really. These are excellent. Must take some patience. Great shots, too!
I have a problem deciding as well Great sculptures
Stoned-henge .. giggles. We have some land out in the country. Very rocky land. Stone sculptures similar to these abound. What else would you do when trying to mow an area around a camper? Why, build a rock garden, of course! But I never thought of doing Stoned-henge!! Spectacular.
