Diary of a Rock Balancer ::
Stone Balance Art created and photographed by Michael Grab — 03 May 2016 — Istria, Croatia ::
I decided to make a small wishing well for observant passers by. . . it is in a fairly remote spot in the city of Pula, Croatia… and can only be seen within a certain range of angles underneath a reflected sky. 
Also notably relaxing and therapeutic to arrange the colors. most time was consumed collecting the various colors on a nearby beach… pebbles that go mostly overlooked.. but it was worth every second. I fell in love before even reaching the blue outer ring. . . I hope someone sees it with a sense of enchantment. more on this later… have to wait at least 24 hours for the dust in the water to settle completely… might go back and fine tune the color gradation…

[…] said i would revisit this creation, soooooo, here’s a closer look into my wishing well thingy, Diameter here was roughly 40 cm. average pebble size matching my […]
Send me some of those rocks. They make me so happy.

Beautiful…I’m a little disturbed however by some comments saying leave it alone…thank you Gravity Glue for creating such beauty in tune with nature…you clearly have a great love and respect and are not causing harm…baffles the brain when people say that YOU are disturbing nature…look around at what is happening in the world people…those that are truly messing with Mother Earth…continue to create GG, it’s beautiful.

Beautiful!
Gravity Glue, don’t forget to post any new pix you took of this! <3
Thats awesome xxxxx
the fact that there are actually people criticising you for this, is for me, the ultimate proof that no matter how much you give, how much good you do, how much you love the planet, care for people and create beauty and joy, there’s always some asshole that is just hangin to shit all over it … I think it’s perhaps an expression of the universal principle of polarity
anyway, great work bro! I LOVE IT! <3
That’s just amazing!
Beautiful, Michael! :)
Gorgeous!
So gorgeous.
This is true art…it opens my mind. Very beautiful. Sometimes Braco does outdoor live stream gazings in his home country of Croatia. The scenery is stunning.
Your work is perfect poetry and a lovely, patient antidote to the madness of the world. Thank-you Gravity Glue!
You are the reason we cant have nice facebook commetns….quit being a butthole. He made pretty rocks, prettier. GET OVER YOURSELF
Love your work.
A friend shared the picture I’ve added. Someone by arranging rocks in a distinctive way has created an illusion of moving water. Was wondering if this is your work?
The next time I’m taking a stroll through Pula, Croatia, I’ll make sure to look for that pool!
This is exquisite! Your work teaches me to open my eyes to what lies around me. Thank you!
Looks as if Nature made natural steps down to your pool in anticipation!
Enchanting and enhancing nature is so cool! Stay down and build up Gravity Glue stay true!

So beautiful- I imagine the careful intent and joy you had while working this project. This is going to be a very special moment when people discover this!
would LOVE to wander/wonder upon this someday *!*
The perspective of the grander size measured by your camera’s eye, pulled a nice one on our perspective once your magical hand adjusted the perspective.
Gotta “hand” it to you… *clap clap* ;)
<3
thank you ! you have a magical way of seeing….
Wow, love your work!
Will Murphy
amazingly enchanting, would love to see it once it’s settled if you go back! you rock! (pun originaly not intended :P )
It makes me sad, because I know I’ll never go to Pula, Croatia. So I’ll only be able to see this in pictures. Thanks for the picture anyway.
I love your work…this is so beautifully done
It is beautiful.
It’s beautiful! I loved the rocks in Croatia so much that I brought some home to Montreal, Canada.
so beautiful!
I’ll have to take a trip there, since i’m not thst far from it!
Very magical and beautiful. Come to Isle of Arran Scotland one day.. we have wonderful stones to work art with
enchanted.
Nice.
Calli Ryan
I too like to do things with water that I hope others notice and become enchanted with. Pretty much with nature too.
I’m in love.
Bella Erica Smole lets go check it out
u are just amazing… i love your work. The pictures are amazing, the balance, the love you put into it, and even your writing is inspiring. I love all rocks, simple lake rocks, amazing precious stones.. so… yeah. Your art inspire me everyday.Thank you for existing! <3
Pure beauty. <3 <3 <3
Why are people whinging? The artist has just put pebbles in a rock pool. Get over yourself, and see the beauty using NATURE as it is. Its not as if he’s smashed a hole in the ground.
#firstworldproblems :P haha
Even if he was to smash a hole in the ground….’Oh no geologic change….THE SKY IS FALLING’ All third graders know about the cycle of rocks, how theyre violently destroyed in the earth and raise back up. I really dont think even smashing a hole would seriously damage anything…..Its awesome and creative. People just love to critique over silly stuff.
Gravity Glue…your work is amazing and inspring. Remember that the majority of the people you share your work with see how you transform the beauty of nature that already exists into something fairly miraculous. Hold firm in your motivation for creating your ‘works’ without apology or explanation for some will never understand. Namaste.

Gravity is gravipush. What is gravipush? (Gauv Grauv’s top science theory)
In the multiverse big bang, bang everywhere when it is ready. It doesn’t matter big bang or small bang or tiny bang or hand clap bang, all the bang are energy that have release into the universe everywhere in space and bothers to all objects even atom or particle that I call: “stress pressure of the universe”. Those stress pressure travel straight line in space to all direction in speed of light without block each other and push to all objects form together even atom call “gravipush” (old word call gravity). All objects in space have blocked each other stress pressure of the universe made the stress pressure unbalance so those objects will run toward low pressure to each other by gravipush. Bigger object has bigger mass, bigger mass has more gravinet, more gravinet can block more stress pressure and get more gravipush.
So I announce publicly: From now on no more gravity but gravipush to all scientists all over around the world. Thank you

very zen…while beauty is mostly everywhere, sometimes it is the most beautiful when we have to discover it…
Oh my God that’s awesome!!!

Scientists will be trying to figure out this natural phenomenon.
Was thinking just the same thing! :D
Happened across this in Maine along with many other stacks. It was like a sweet embrace from an unknown person. I say thank you to whomever made this. When you stack, you leave a piece of considered beauty for someone to happen upon. I would love to happen upon your wishing well!
Hard to tell the dimensions of this. When I first saw it I thought boulders. Then I read that you mentioned pebbles.
It’s very cool. Very Andy Goldsworthy!
amazing
Really neat :)
this is amazing.
Kina Louve Stéphanie Souhaité ;-)
Beautiful
How creative! I love that you allow yourself to be open to a full range of unexpected creations! …and, I would love to come across something like this while out and about enjoying nature!
You are consistently VERY cool. Never stop.
Wonderful….!
signs of nesting octopuses maybe, no wait, I SEE it, the EYE of mother earth! <3 Irie mon!
I would travel to observe this in Croatia. :)
Beautiful
Beautifully mirroring the sun in the top the photo. Inspiering what you do
scale?
:)
No way! It looks so much larger.
Gravity Glue That’s a sweet little piece of art! Thank you for the size perspective, I think sometimes building on a smaller scale is more grand.
Wow…
thank you. i was gonna say “banana” but hand is much better.
Seems much larger without scale… amazing work
The photo makes it look so much bigger than it really is. I am pleasantly surprised! It is the little things that count:))
Now in the top 5 of your best creations ever. Thank you.
So beautiful. Congratulations.
I would rather see the tide pool naturally- with critters in their habitat undisturbed.
Naive and quite imaginative. This isn’t even a tide pool and no critters live in it. Best not to assume.
Look into disturbance regime theory ( http://www.eoearth.org/view/article/154793/)
All ecosystems have disturbances which the life forms have evolved around, and a moderate level of disturbance actually promotes more biodiversity.
In fact, the first study published on this topic was studying disturbance in tide pools, and found that pools with moderate disturbance (rocks being overturned during high tide) were more healthy of an ecosystem (based on biodiversity, abundance, and resilience).
Think of a forest fire- yes many things die during the fire, bit the next season new openings in the canopy provide for more sunlight hitting Forest floor which provides habitat for shade-intolerant species and those which depend on them.
People are natural. We can have a positive impact on ecosystem health if we weren’t so shortsighted.
This is fabulous! I would hope that I would be able to “see it” if I was walking by.
A-ma-zing! Wish I go there one day to see it for real. Bravo monsieur, votre travail est inspirant.
Totally love this :D
Nice! Hope I can find it next time I am in Pula :)
It’s lovely. Don’t change it. Leave it as you originally created it. please…
kamenčići <3 :)
it’s beautiful :-) love it! <3
At last this one I can do! lol
Beautiful! How magical it would be to find this x
Extraordinary! Would like to learn..
Have you been to Rovinj? Very beautiful town.
Great idea
magique ! splendide
Absolutely breathtaking!!
Colin Gilroy
you’re incredibly thoughtful
thank you :)
Messing with nature No ….. Pointing out the wonders of nature when you take the time to see what is right in front of your eyes, purely exquisite.
translating into terms of which the average human will take a more detailed look! :)
Very nice. Are you coming to Slovenia too? i can show you some places if you want.
i was thinking of visiting the Soca river! :)
That’s great idea. Or here, near to my, where 3 big rivers come together. Sava, Ljubljanica, and Kamniska Bistrica. A lot of stones. Different one.

Awesome xx onelove X
So beautiful and relaxing… Good idea, good vibes… I love it ! <3
Stunning.
That’s looking beautiful. Kinda like ‘Wild Landscaping’, so cool :)
This is absolutely amazing. If I stumbled upon something like this I’d be crazy surprised
This work is extraordinarily beautiful <3
<3 ! it did turn out unexpectedly pretty! :) the range of colors in the pebbles is just divine! i also love how it disappears from view when one steps away
Gravity Glue – May I wish on it from Canada for your continued contentment. It is so calming to look at … thank you, merci. :) (Sylvia, Brad’s wife)
I love it so much! <3
Gravity Glue I love your way of seeing
Very lovely.
