Tim Anderson final balanced rock stack in the Llano River. Tim Anderson, rock balancing “pro” from Pennsylvania, carefully worked to balance his stack on a dry spot in the Llano river Saturday March 12, 2016. He was an honored guest of the festival and enjoyed visiting Texas so he came for another year. The river was higher this year because of the rains so the balancers could not get to the better rock that were available last year. (Photo by Nell Carroll/American-Statesman)

Awesome. When I lived in San Francisco, there was a guy there who used to go to each of the beaches (the ones with rocks, anyway) and make these stacks. I had him show me how to do it once, but the skill eluded me. He'd leave a few of these cairns in each spot. Most weren't as tall as ones in your pictures, though -- very nice!

Whoa. I bet the skill would elude me, too, lol.

Honestly can't believe rock stacking is an actual thing, nice!
