UK - Scotland - Newtonmore - River stone piles art

Piled river bed stones on the River Calder in Glen Bauchor, Newtonmore, Scotland. An artist has spent many hours in this tranquil place, sourcing and selecting the right stones to pile up vertically on top of each other. Rock balancing can be a performance art, a spectacle, or devotion, depending upon the interpretation by its audience. Essentially, it involves placing some combination of rock or stone in arrangements that require patience and sensitivity to generate, and which appear to be physically impossible while actually being only highly improbable.
