Each rock in a stream is blooming with life. Everything from aquatic plants to micro-organisms are attached to those rocks. It could be potentially damaging to the life cycles of organisms connected to the natural area's river rock. You should know that, National Geographic!
Beautiful n beautifully done 😍
Thats crazy, I love balancing rocks but thats just another level.
I made this a childrens play. To stack as much flat stones over another as is possible. The one with the highest tower wins. Teaches them to be careful and patient!
The view was amazing
Wow! Its amazing job! No are limits ;)

That's amazing did you know those rocks were used to wipe bottoms for thousands of years. Like before toilet paper they are about half an inch thick sometimes thicker and rounded on the edges .the ones you are playing with sometimes they were stacked up after cleaning them off.they are valuable historical pieces .
so cool,someone does this in the Humber river in Toronto too
Gr8 work
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
wonderful
It says 'on water'.... But still, it's a work of art!! I like it
And here am I falling at every step
great arts
amazing..........................😮
Wow so amazing I love it
Amazing. btw, if i want to learn to play the guitar part of the music, what should i search for? Is it folk?
When the camera cuts to a different shot, that's when he applies the super glue
Superb bro
Love it

This guy looks stoned out of his mind. But hey, jokes aside, this is INCREDIBLE. We're scrolling through videos on YT watching things like this, while they're out there doing things like that. Mad respect .
amazingly accomplished , while the earth is moving in 4 directions at once and at multiple times the speed of sound
✓Awesome 👍👍 *Greeting from Indonesia ❤️🇮🇩❤️
I am a stone stacker... It's fun. Better by oneself. Mine are dry and larger. But this guy is really good.
so sick
