Late day, light breezes

Hot and sunny it was!  Spent the day in Ohiopyle hanging out and soaking up sun on the rocks.  I wanted to wait until late afternoon to get started setting up for evening photos.   I had a hard time finding my mojo and getting into the groove, but after a slow start I ended up with a few nice pieces.  Each had to be set up two or three times due to the breeze that kicked up.  As soon as I felt the wind, I closed my eyes and waited for the ker-plunk of rocks falling into the water.  Fortunately the breeze calmed and I was able set up a couple of balances and shoot photos up until dark.

Ohiopyle Rock Balancing

Here are a few photos of rocks that I balanced at Ohiopyle State Park on Wednesday July 30th.  I spent most of the day balancing rocks upstream a few hundred yards from the main falls.  First time I did any balancing here.  Definitely some cool offerings from the river to work worh.  Quite a few interesting people  stopped by to watch whatever it was that I was doing.  Again almost everyone seemed to enjoy the experience and had positive comments up until I took them down.  The disappointment was abound... Such is the short lived life of balanced rock art.

Here's a few from down in Connellsville from the same day.  I thought the mixed media was fun to explore. 

More rocks...

Here's a few photos from some time I spent balancing rocks in Ohiopyle on Thursday 

Seeing and hearing folks reactions is one of my highlights.  Most everyone had some type of positive comment, nod or thumbs up.  Met some nice people thoughout the day at my several stops.  It was very cool to experience strangers discussing a bunch of rocks in a fashion that I'm not normally used to.  Typically it's about a climbing line or problem at such and such crag.  Which is also very cool in a different sense.  I just love rocks!
