Balancing rocks

[urbpan]

I tried some rock balancing yesterday. It cold and windy, but sunny. I like the meditative state of mind that you get into when you are doing this. I realized that one of the "tricks" to doing it, was knowing that it was possible. I wonder how many other things in life are like that.





This one was still up when I went by it a half hour later!






With two rocks on top, it's a cartoon character.


I wanted to try the same rock without the crack as a base. Much harder. I couldn't get another rock on top of it.


So I put its friends next to it, instead, before I left.

That's REALLY neat. How do you do it?

It's magic. ;)

I honestly can't describe it. You have to feel it.

Does it just take awhile to get the "feel" for it, the balancing point, the center, of things? I can only ask because I'll never be able to fly to Boston just for one of rockbalancer's classes, much as I want to. We've got rocks literally coming out of the ground out here (lol) and I'd love to learn this.

Well, I've only been doing it for a couple days now myself, and I haven't had a proper lesson from rockbalancer yet. What I've done has been from trial and error mostly.
