This is my photograph of a balance rock I did last summer during our family vacation at our NookSack river campground near Mt. Baker. (as far as a finished photo print, its a work in progress) I find making rock balance towers a very zen and pleasing chalange.  I also have a theory that any naturally balanced configuration of mass, will generate a pleasing balance of form.  Since almost every balance tower I've made seems to follow this rule I'm inclined to think its true. Any mathmaticians out there want to try and offer a proof? Maybe I'll post a gallery of the balance rock images later.
