Rock Cairn along the shores of Lake Huron in Presque Isle, Michigan

I wonder how much time went into this amazing piece of art! Photographed on town neck beach in sandwich, it must have been hours of searching for the perfect balance of large and small. Sadly these are temporary, at least until the tide comes in! All that work doesn’t go unappreciated, though, when you’ve got a photo to capture the memory!

Balancing Act Rock Cairn Thankfully someone was kind enough to leave this amazingly balanced rock Cairn for me to photograph on the beach of Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire. A cairn is a man-made pile (or stack) of stones originally used for navigation to mark the route of a trail for others to follow. I'm certain this one was made purely for the fun of doing it and the admiration from their friends. As I said if I had to do this then I would still probably be there. By Paul Thompson Photography

Cairns are manmade rock piles usually done as a marker or grave marking.

Rock Cairn

BARRON FALLS - Queensland Australia Lookout.

Cairn stones are used in hiking to provide reassurance to hikers that they are on the right path. They are a very ancient form of communication to travellers that they are in a welcoming environment.

During a walk on a golden fall day, you wander into a field dotted with rock cairns. At first, the rocks seem to be stacked at random but then you realize they're perfectly balanced.
