I know, you used a drill, and something like a solid cylinder, put into the rock in the ground, and the one in the middle.
Or maybe not ...
Impressive anyway.

[link] Seeing as the artist did post a picture of himself making the sculpture... Don't rip on people with quality art just because all you can draw is furries.

This is absolutely amazing, not just in the feat itself, but the beauty of the photo as well.

Woah! I'm somewhat good at rock stacking but balancing a rock on a sheer point is something that I have seldom been able to do. Nice job!

A rock of that shape can be put on balance? Just the base, the other ones I know they can be put that way (pebble beaches are great for practising that)
But a rock like that? How did you do it? I know that magicians refuse to explain their tricks, but come on, this is driving me crazy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the trick is patience. The rock is granite, which isn't perfectly smooth. That helps out a lot. Oh yeah... and no wind is helpful too

That must have been a pain. Having to do all of that
then be very still and try to take a picture. How many
times did it fall down on you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it took less then an hour I think and it fell down a lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i don't even want to think about how long that took...but it makes a great picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yeah it's real... glad you like.

And after you get it to where you want it, start to focus the camera... and.... EARTHQUAKE!!!

Nice concept. I like the simple statement of the obvious. Balance is very ... balanced.
Keep up the good work.

I have always loved the balancing stones. Nice job on these!

I like the calming effect the balanced rocks have on an area. People tend to move slowly and cautiously around these towers.

a little patience and a lot of time.

Super glue, and photoshop, right?
-_-

It isn't. I've seen a professional rock balancer do this with pointed rocks before my very eyes. There's no smoke and mirrors, just a lot of skill.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
no actually .... it's just patience.
The rocks are granite and have small imperfections on the surface. I use those to my advantage. I have some more work here...

I've recently gotten into this myself, its quite amazing the process itself, is so primitive but it takes some real patience and gentle hands. Nice work!
