Amazing light sculptures. Go soon - it’s only until February 3rd. Don’t get caught taking photos though…

I came across Bill Dan’s rock balancing a couple of years ago, and have just been reminded of it while looking through Dave Gorman’s Flickr stream which features some of his own rock and pebble based trickery. It’s amazing to watch Bill’s videos of this art, combining much patience, delicate balancing acts and hunking great chunks of stone. According to Wikipedia Andy Goldsworthy is also a practitioner. I’m off to find some of his stuff now…

Oh, and here’s a guy called Danny Brown having some fun with rock balancing film.
