The Art Of Rock Balancing

Rock balancing (also stone balancing, or stacking) is a form of recreation, art, or expression in which rocks are balanced on top of one another. Consequently they are often assembled in a precarious manner.

This is accomplished in various positions without the use of adhesives, wires, supports, rings or any other contraptions which would help maintain the construction’s balance. – WIKIPEDIA

“There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
