last weekend these balanced stone structures appeared in Toronto’s Humber River. They were created as a form of meditation by the artist and have been left to the vagaries of the wind and water. While I was there, three of them fell over, and several of the other 40 of them had already fallen.

How interesting! Great captures, but have to admit I'm curious as to their creation, but perhaps meditation works that way?? Whatever, I love your photos! Have a great week!

I must admit, I would not find this very meditative, but then, I find knitting to be frustrating!
He picks up the rocks from the shallow river and works with them until a balanced sculpture is complete, then moves on to the next.
Very interesting indeed. Great shot.

I think this is very cool. And I do understand how repetitive physical motion can be meditative. Good shot!

I like this photo. Great composition, wonderful processing. Thanks for sharing the story and the photos.
very interesting. i've seen a few of these around here, but as garden sculptures. good composition.
I love this -- very Zen. We've been a few places where there was a tradition for people to build cairns like this, but not artists I don't think. Very very cool.
were these commissioned by the city? Or were they placed by anyone keen for a challenge?
Apparently this person has done this for a few years. He just appears one weekend and starts building!
It's a shame they fell over. I guess that was (con)temporary art.
