..........to do this?

 

[bribrius]

[Rick50]

I've seen this before. That guy is incredible for sure. No, I don't think I have the patience.

 

[tirediron]

No.

and no macroinvertebrates were harmed in the making of the river scene...

Fascinating. A totally "useless" endeavor that challenges the viewer and creates its own purpose just by its existence. Sparky, thank you for posting the link.

Edit: I showed this to some house guests and was told about a lady who does balancing of bamboo. I found one of her performances here:

Truly challenges what we think is "possible".

To answer the question NO. A few of the images look a bit "over processed" for my cynical mind.
In Vietnam they have a tourist item made from bamboo in the shape of a dragonfly that balances in the most peculiar ways.

Hell, no! I could see arranging a sort of Japanese rock garden and photographing it (or just sitting in it), but the vertical aspect doesn't seem calming.

 

[ronlane]

Nope, I'd get frustrated after a few minutes and would quit with the rocks fell for the 3 or 4th time. lol

..........to do this?

No. Nor the inclination. lol

 

[sm4him]

..........to do this?

The patience to take pictures of amazingly balanced rocks? Sure.

The patience to create the balanced rock structures? Not so much.

 

[Forkie]

Here's a guy actually doing it!

 

[JustJazzie]

I barely had the patience to watch the video. ;-) really neat stuff though! That's for sharing!

Here's a guy actually doing it!

Okay, so…

Now I've SEEN it, and I STILL don't believe it.
