No way that’s real! The rocks have to be screwed together or something. They’re not even equally balanced!

We have a field not too distant from my home, where a person has stacked rocks. None of them are this elaborate. None the less, they are pleasing to look at.

I have always thought of them as signs of intelligent life.

That’s not to say the person has to be a genius. It’s just that animals and birds don’t do this sort of thing.

Some human went out into the field and created something different.

I’m not sure I’d call it art. Perhaps that’s exactly what it is. The term art is tossed out there on so many things, it almost loses meaning.

Seems like more of a science exhibit the extremes this guy went to. Very nice whatever you categorize it as.

Reminds me of “My dominoes just went down.” From the Toy. Jackie Gleason is making love to his wife when his giant dominoe display falls.

These are really quite awesome, I respect his skills and the settings he chooses that makes it art.

My real question is about permanence, or rather the lack thereof. Just simple thermal change from sunshine would probably destabilize many of the ones displayed. Yet, ephemeral art is still art and he can rebuild if he chooses. Would it still be his art if it was made permanent with glue? If you had the video of the creation prior to ‘freezing’?

Thanks for the post, wonderful and peaceful AND seasonal!

cordless hammer drill, 1/8” masonry bit and 1/8” short pcs of round steel rod?

Seems like the slightest bit of air movement would knock half of those over.

It’s real. I saw a guy do this in a park in San Diego, did it for tips.

It was amazing.

The structures are very fragile.

This is amazing and awesome! I loved the pix at the link, especially the ones that look like a group of people! I found it delightful, worthy of a healthy giggle and I really needed that today!

In the video, I was waiting for those rocks to tumble down onto his feet lol!

Thanks a ton for your post.

Knock yourself out, cupcake, as long as tax dollars are not paying you to stack rocks.
