Stone balancing at Flamborough Head

When we find a rocky beach, Rebecca likes to try her hand at stone balancing.

There is a guy called Adrian Gray who is quite brilliant at this, please take the time to look at his website, it is incredible.

So, as an homage to his work, this is Rebecca's effort at Flamborough Head last sunday.

I was mesmerised by it and took lots of shots!

I will post a trio of other shots in one of my other albums.

Outstanding shot! Fantastic color, perspective and form - you've really captured the essence of balance. Welcome back.

[Mags ッ]

Amazing clarity - great shot!

[Kylie Martin]

[Robyn]

Awesome!

[Achilleos]

Been there many times, awesome place to photograph.. Nice shot and great blue sky...

[Sean O'Neill]

@lesphoto Thanks Leslie, lot sof catching up to do with posting shots, and then even more to catch up with what everyone has been up to!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@boogie @kmrtn6 @rockinrobyn @achilleos Thank you all. @achilleos Funny, I lived in Hull for 16 years and cannot remember ever going there before, though we must have!!

[Lisa]

Stunning shot, love the clarity :)

[Helen]

Great balancing - your daughter's done a great job there! I seem to recall the bloke you mention was on Coast - very impressive - my kids try to recreate his sculptures too.

[Sean O'Neill]

@elsbels Thanks Helen, yes that's the guy. Ahem, Rebecca is ah, um, my wife ;)

[Helen]

I know - I was about to apologise but you beat me to the post!

[Sean O'Neill]

@elsbels no apology necessary. I have always wanted a daughter ;)

[Ann Stenson]

Wow, this is a realy magical shot!.....wonderful textures & colour too! ; )

[Sandie Reardon]

This is quite nice, Sean. It never occurred to me that this was an art form. When we see stacked rocks here, we call them cairns, and they are used to mark a trail so we can find our way back. This is a clear and crisp photo of a great work of art. We particularly like that she has included the rust-colored rock, although each of them are very attractive. Nice job on both your parts!

Great shot - but don't take this the wrong way - you've got same problem as me - pesky dust on sensor that shows up on blue skies. But I do love this shot! :-)

[David H.]

Gorgeous colours, I've only ever seen this is NZ. On hiking trails in the UK the cairns are usually just heaps of rock but this is very artistic, I like that it's only function is to please the eye.

[Jill]

This is soooo cool! I love these types of sculptures - wonderful pov!

[Valerie]

Fab shot great sculpture and amazing blue sky

[Dana]

Fantastic perspective. Like the beautiful bright blue sky contrasted with the stones.

[Simply Amanda]

Awesome perspective. The rocks look huge!

[Linda Lorraine]

Love the blue sky with the sculpture!

[Tanya]

Very cool especially against the blue blue sky. Last time we were at Preah Khan (in the Angkor Wat park) someone had done some stone balancing which looked mysterious among the ancient ruins.

[Sean O'Neill]

@rockinrobyn @annbo Thanks ever so Ann and Robyn. You are always so kind to me :)

[Sean O'Neill]

@sandier Thank you Sandie, That is so good of you to make such a lovely comment. We call them Cairns too.

[Sean O'Neill]

@pictureitbig No offence taken, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, chasing my tail a little!! It is on the lens I think, as I do not get it when shooting with other lenses. You have spurred me to give the lens a clean and see what happens.

[Sean O'Neill]

@hasselhotch @jillmstruss @valley @danacarruthers @amandalomonaco @lindag @palusami Thank you all so much, great comments, which has made us both smile, because we had such fun doing this.

[Andreas]

Impressive shot, the colours of the stones against the dark blue sky is soo nice.

[Sean O'Neill]

@primitiveprobe Thanks Andreas, and for the +Fav

[Virginia Arnone-Youlton]

Brilliant, very artistic of Rebecca. You have captured the perspective very well.

[Alison Tomlin]

This is great. It looks so big and I love the blue blue sky.

[Phil]

Wonderful stack! Love the bold colours with the bright blue behind it. Super Job!
Adrian Grey's work it amazing - can't believe some of it balanced, especially with sea breezes to counter them! Thanks for the link, it's given me a whole new set of ideas for next time!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@filsie65 No probs. We had some fun doing this. Glad you liked the link, he is amazing, and it is true, you do feel the stones balance as you move them. They make good triptych photos too, I think I have one somehwere in my other album around the same time.
