Description
This was how I celebrated a nice day this last weekend. We had sun, it was warm, and the trees are still colorful. All in all, a pretty good day. So naturally I just had to add to it by arranging a bunch or stones in a highly un-natural way. I guess I'm just wired a bit odd, but it was a really fun and relaxing way to enjoy the weather. It was a bit trickier that day because the wind was pretty strong and very gusty, so the stacks had to be a bit more stable than they would on a calmer or steadier day.
As usual, no glue, strings, support rods, etc. It's all just gravity and friction. Thanks for taking a look!

They're multiplying. Hey, is that a cemetery across the road? Put some of those pumpkins atop the rock stacks and you'll freak out the kids next Monday.

Holy wow, Mike! This is the most amazing one, yet! You must have the patience of a monk, my friend! Just awesome! Let us know when the Druids begin showing up in your yard for ceremonies!

I'm always amazed at what your stone sculptures ultimately imply. If you were to build a lot of these on some lone stretch of empty beach, they'd take on an eerie quality, much like the stone monoliths of Easter Island, staring enigmatically out to sea. Or, they'd take on the quality of something ancient, and a bit more familiar, like a forgotten obelisk in Egypt or something buried, and forgotten, in one of those oil rich countries currently enjoying all sorts of US-American military action, which--by the nature of all military actions--tends to erase many of the physical features of a history longer than anything a US-American can comprehend. Funny how that works. Young countries! Too bad you can't just spank them like you can with young humans! But anyway, enough of that! I really like the sheer number of these babies standing around, standing watch, standing guard, perhaps, in some metaphorical way, listening. This is the one of the best ways to relax, and I suspect that the only people who think this is weird are people who consider Dancing with the Stars to be the height of 21st century entertainment. But that's just me...I'd rather stack rocks--or knowing me, let YOU stack them, while I look for all sorts of interesting things that consider the undersides of rocks to be sufficiently cozy homes.

Amazing work. The balance is perfect. Guess you had to spend many hours making this.
