Balancing Beach Art

Last week, I took a mini-vacation to San Francisco then a friend graciously drove me to Monterey for a family wedding. We stayed in Cannery Row for the night, and stumbled across these sculptural balancing rock formations (known as rock cairns) on the beach just in front of our seaside lodging. Are they art? Or are they some form of meditations? The guy who made them was out there day and night hoping to catch some tips from enamored tourists like us.

  1. It seems to be a trend. We came across the same thing all over a rocky beach in New Hampshire in August, and then saw some in Vancouver as well.

  2. I liked how unexpected they were - at least for me. And how many there were!
