today involved a game of chess with intermittent wind, downpours, and thunderstorms rolling in from the Aegean sea… but thanks to my resilience, i caught a rare pocket of calm across all 3 elements, with some really beautiful light peaking through at the perfect moment. . . such a beautiful place!

Now I read your words and you have actually quoted Salvador Dali and I referred to him only a few minutes ago. The synchronicity of the Universe is magnificent.

My opinion. Creative minds, patience leads to success, as well as in life we build life, so an artist creates his works, there are details in life that are reflected, patience, creation, gravity, destruction, photography in slow motion, it’s too much reflecting in just a few minutes, life gives us and created, nothing is forever, it is best to build …… (Glue) Stuck together we make a difference… Life….

MY GOD!!!
You’re so talented and produce beautiful works of balance and art, also capture amazing images, I’m glad I found this page.
Who are you? I want to to meet you.
Amazing grace!
I tried this by my self, and is awesome how the equilibrium happens, is just the unique surface and mass distribution on every rock. When you see is quite strange, but if you feel the stones is very logical.
Magnificent.
Kolby, look through this dudes photos. Incredible.

Thank you and wishing you more years of being an instrument of balancing our lives through your arts!!

There are 3 small flat oval stones stacked in a pocket off the brick steps leading to a flat part of the lawn in front of our house that I,m forever reassembling. Seems they should never fall apart but there they lay. Don’ know if I’m becoming obsessive or it’s just plain comical, but I’ve become that rock piles caretaker.
Good morning Michael. We’re watching you on Innovation Nation this morning. Well deserved world wide recognition. How cool is that!! So happy for you, you’ve come a long way my friend. :D
I am so profoundly moved by your impassioned attunement with your gifts. Exquisite in every possible way.
nice fake
Apparently you’re new here :D
Gravity Glue Lovely, gracious response. <3
Je ne sais pas faire c est donc forcément faux…triste façon de raisonner…
Please be careful, enjoy vacation but I like you safe, love your post.
Great work! Very beautiful.
astounding balance, please say something about the other force, friction, without which these could not happen. Especially when wet and more slippery. Although putting on a wet tee shirt is def not easier than dry
Friction is too variable to say anything constant about it… Changes depending on types of stone and wetness. Sometimes wetness increases friction, sometimes opposite depending on stones, locations, weather, etc.
….sigh……
Just simply amazing,
That is absolutely amazing, the balance of those stones. And it is soooo beautiful! ! ! !
Thank you and God bless you and all always! ! and have a great blessful weekend! ! ! !

I really like this, the work reminds me of an artist that used sculptural forms and photography clever stuff
Absolutely amazing!
I am captivated by your work. Is it gravity or is it glue? Mystery and creativity. Love!
Gravity is the strongest glue :))
OMG!!! That takes my breath away!!!
I love your stuff. How rewarding it must be to travel the world making beautiful art.
Beautiful!
Was there music in the background as the skies opened up? I heard some just by looking at this!
actually i was a bit frantic at this point, within minutes of getting nailed by another downpour and thunderstorm… but yes, it was an orchestra of vibration :)
ah how wonderful!
Les roches ont l air tranchantes mais superbe couleurs !
