dont know how or who set this rock up like this. it isnt supported by any other rocks around it.
ever since i first saw it along the river in tremont, i have wanted a shot of it.
doing a late evening drive last night in tremont, i decided to finally capture this before someone or the waters knock it down.
i think it’s an excellent example on how physics really works. that if something is placed at just the right mark, it can be balanced.
what amazes me the most about this, is the size of rock used, and then that little rock to set the balance just right.
i had to shoot this at a pretty low shutterspeed due to my lighting fading quickly.
if you view larger you will see, this river rock isnt propped up by anything, the only thing around it..is that little rock to complete the balance, because i checked the shot thoroughly to see if there was anything behind it

Great shot!!! I think the slow shutter speed really enhances the feel of this picture by showing the movement of the water and how delicate that balance really is.
I used super glue, sorry did not mean to dampen the story…I kid, great shot…Tremont, hmmmmm
along with the slow shutterspeed, you have terrific dof, and the lighting adds highlights at the right spots
Hmmm,,, Pretty amazing:) Fantastic image too:)
Awesome shot Chris! I love the slow shutterspeed, it gives such a feeling of softness which contrasts so nicely with the rocks! As for the balancing act, it is very cool and a treasure to capture, great job!!
Oh yeah! I’m with John on this one………that is an amazing shot……it looks like a pudgy little prairie gopher standing up……we have hundreds of them running around here right now………what a delightful image……terrific find and so well done Christopher! :-)))
What a wonderful shot!! From the prefect capture of the water to the rocks in the background to the hint of green!!! Perfect shot!!!
What a fabulous eye Chris to have caught this! Just a brilliant capture all by itself in the creek bed! Fantastic!
Excellent shot!
WOW! Excellent find and capture Chris
