Pioneered by new Learner Dave Gorman (quick study, that one), Pocket Rock Balancing is related to Bill Dan's Miniature Balancing, and carries-on the "bonsai" tradition of that genre.

Dave writes in an email:
"The pebble balancing was particularly difficult - even a tiny breeze plays havoc with it. I found that by scraping away at the sand to get to a moist surface for the first stone to be securely placed I also made a bit of a wind-break which helped. I then had to place the two top stones at the same time to get the balance right. As I said on the site, it requires a real sense of calm."
