I was shooting at Barton Springs last night and some guy asked 'what are you shooting' i replied nothing in particular just whatever, he told me he and his friends had just built some rock towers and i should check em out. I walked downstream expecting a pile of rocks and found a entire city of these crazy rock towers! I came back in the morning and took over 700 pictures, and saw two of the towers topple

I'm surprised they didnt glue them, i touched one and it was not glued! I didnt touch any of the ones that fell though heh.

more pics at the flickr

Wow, those are really neat! I love that they are just balanced there. Some of those rocks are quite large though so it seems like it could be hazardous to a passerby if they didn't know they weren't stuck on rods or whatever...usually when you see stuff like that they have drilled them through and stuck rebar in between.
