Near Barga, in the Tuscan hills of Italy, balanced rocks recently began to appear outside of town and were reported in the press.
The photographer writes, "When I took those images there were hundreds of these sculptures standing down by the river bed... word had leaked out and many people were coming down to see these standing stones and then try their own hand at balancing some of the rocks. It was a great time. Some were still standing even after the winter storms. Then the following year there were groups of people arriving whose only intention was to knock down the stones. It was not such a great time. The stones are still being created but further up in the mountains and in secret.."
