“I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe.”
~ Anaïs Nin
Boulder creek seems exceptionally green for this late in october.. maybe my compass is off but here a photo from yesterday as evidence.. a late fall indeed compared to previous years’ photo records.
A new Arch . . ! this one will go on to stand for over 4 months!
[…] built this arch on October 28th, 2015. I thought there was no way it lasted through an entire winter in Boulder.. I returned yesterday to […]
[…] The Arch was created here […]
Glenda Goodwitch. When we build your pond we are putting a stone bridge so plan for a trip to get rocks

Incredible are you !
Great quote by Nin..
First attempt. It took me about 1.5 hours. You are amazing!
I love this one!! It looks like some type of iguana.
I do love my rocks! This guy is simply amazing. Be sure to check the website!
Best thing on fb, by far. Love, love, love!
An awesome scaly lizard perhaps.
Never tire of these creations.
Love it! The Rock on the right looks like the head of a hawk with the white rock/water behind it.

Bring meeee
Definitely!
Nice one!
Garsh Mr. Mike, did you have an army of helpers? That’s phenomenal!

I too found this arch fascinating. It has an almost commonplace feel compared to some of your creative ‘stacks’. Yet it stands out as “Brilliant, how did he do that!”
And calendars? You do calendars? What am I thinking? Of course you do calendars. Must have.
thanks everyone! :)
Simply Amazing Michael

Your work is always elegant. Gotta get a calendar.
Outstanding! I am so fascinated by the arch! That is the base that supports the rest of the stones, but how does one achieve the arch first? I really love this piece!
normally a traditional arch is built using a form, which supports the rocks during building and then removed at the end. BUT, this is a completely different process… the freehand arch, which i support with my hands/body, while building. it’s kind of an all or nothing process.. very slow and deliberate. one collapse throws all these rocks downstream. this arch took several hours. i made the connection several times in that time frame, but the hardest part is getting a smooth archline without a form. not to mention spanning this size of gap with rushing water through it. i estimate the span to be close to 50 cm. which i consider quite big for a freehand arch..
here is my process.. i’d say the arch in this video is a bit smaller than the arch in the above photo.. https://vimeo.com/109609209
Thank you soooo much for sharing this video with me! My heart is still pounding, even after I watched you obtain the perfect balance at the end. I have a better understanding on how you did the larger piece, using a form makes perfect sense, but am still amazed by the whole process! You are truly gifted in this fine art of balancing stones!
A masterpiece. Thanks.
My eyes were glued to the vid.
Delfin Canedo , so were mine! Loved it!

Love the quote, as it rings a bell. Your balance is like a mini portal. Love all around.

Snagged a calendar!

Hooow ? :o
What’s your tip for a beginner to achieve an arch such as this, or perhaps an easier arch? The pic is my creation. Only just begun
here’s the process. best advice is play around and see what happens. :) https://vimeo.com/109609209
Ok well that’s pretty awsome
