Re: [World Malayali Club] Gravity is the Only Glue That Holds These Together [18 Attachments]

Gravity has held together these rocks even under flowing water conditions.

Yet, due to human negligence & lack of accountability of our public servants, bridges collapse & innumerable human lives are lost.

Everywhere one can see trees growing in crevices on the piers & arches of the old stone bridges. Are the concerned officials blind that they don't this. Yet no remedial action is taken. At the most an expert agency is engaged to submit a report, but no follow-up action is taken on the report.

Unless there is deterrent punishment including sacking & jail sentence for the guilty is taken these avoidable mishaps will continue.

Michael Grab is a master of balancing rocks and stones. The artist and photographer first explored rock balancing in 2008 while exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado.

Since then the activity has become a source of meditative practice and creative passion and Grab has become prolific in the art form. On his website, Grab explains:

"Balance requires a minimum of three contact points. Luckily, every rock is covered in a variety of tiny to large indentations that can act as a natural tripod for the rock to stand upright, or in most orientations you can think of with other rocks. By paying close attention to the vibrations of the rocks, you will start to feel even the smallest "clicks" as the notches of the rocks are moving over one another."
