photoblog image .....Zen and Gravity.....

.....Zen and Gravity.....

 

 

We are still in Connecticut. 

On one of our walks we met the man and his dog who made these stone-piles. 

 

The small cairn in the two pictures below I made, I was quite impressed with myself. However I think I will need another lifetime to be as good as the artist in the YouTube..........

Superbe profil !
Picturit: Thank you, Martine.
Astrid.
I Love Love Love the top photo, Astrid - and I think you did an excellent job on your cairns! There was actually some cairn building competitions in Flagstaffs Heritage Square during our Peace Celebration last year! I really enjoyed the video!
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, Elizabeth. I think it is so fascinating and I think I could pick up this art. It is amazing what it does with the soul while I 'played with gravity'.... Don't you think that is mind blowing what some can make??

One of your recent best, Astrid.
Picturit: Thank you, Ray.

I will never, ever forget that day and moment there by the river, Astrid. That you went back and made your own cairn (while I was sick) delighted me to no end. I'm so glad I got to see it with my own eyes. To be honest, I can see you working on this artistic expression and becoming a champion!

What a handsome dog... I like your cairns.

I would never have the patience to balance stones like this Astrid, although I admire them when I come across them.

Great shot of the cairning canine.
What a fascinating find, I think you've done a very good job with yours.
Your main photo gave me a big smile. Good job on your balancing.
That must be a clever dog to make these piles LadyP
i love the image of the dog and the carins Astird...
yours are just as important because they are made by you....petersmile
Clever dog! And they guy on the video is amazing!
i am pleased you made them, Astrid, but for me the shot of the proud, handsome dog is the winner, hands down!

Wonderful photograph. The dog perfectly in focus contemplating the Zen of the soft focused stones smile
Picturit: Thank you, Cherry. I sat on a stone next to him and that dog was completely at peace. It was a great place to be, I went back every day just for the quiet and listening to the river.
Astrid.
