RE: Rock Balancing

in #life5 years ago

Amazing photos!
You got me at wine and sand! Also, very nice grass-art and that disturbed sand looks interesting :)

Anyways, I never liked the new cult of balancing rocks everywhere, it became so mainstream and sometimes they just ruin the great philosophy and tradition. :)

There was this thing that when you go hiking/mountaineering you gather one or two nice rocks at the bottom of the mountain, and place it at the top - so it becomes bigger (grows with every mountaineer) or that you contribute to other's people balancing rock by placing your own etc... :D and the last time I was hiking on a relatively popular place all around the peak were these balancing rocks :/ too much balance is not good either. :)

Totally agree with you @svemirac on the balancing rocks nowadays... never been a tradition here (no mountains) but you see them more and more. The reason why behind the tradition well it seems to be forgotten🤔

@m31 as always great photos to look at! Love the soft colors (i assume right before sunset?)

Ps if this was right before sunset, you did choose sugarcult as a great song of the day! This song brings out so many emotions from a “end of the world” feeling to a very sexy and “do what you want” mood. Perfect song to drive back home🚗

Thank you! Glad how they turned out.

Most of them indeed were taken before the sunset :) Ah and the song well.. I just love, love it! I would go with "do what you want" mood hehe

Thank you @svemirac!

Guess I am contributing to the cult xD Dunno about the great philosophies and traditions, but isn't it just human spirit to apply their own meanings to things. That aside the activity itself if is just pure joy and way to entertain yourself.

Last time I hiked up the mountain I also carried my own rock and left it at the summit. No balancing rocks there, just a huge pile of them.
