these rocks are roxx!

Assalamualaikum! hye readers!

today im going to share one of amazing and awesome things on earth which is about how balancing of rocks can amazed us. Earth is one of the most unstable planet in our solar system. Earthquake, volcanoes, hurricane, storm, rain and sun change the face of our planet since thousand of years ago. Amazingly, above our planet activities there are some huge rocks/stones that can keep its inertial stability between the relentless force of gravity of the earth and the sky. These stones are real. No camera trick involved.

one, this is balanced Rock Colorado. Same as the name, this rock stays at the Garden of Gods near Pike`s Peak at the Colorado springs, Colorado. The rock stands over a paved access public road and the rock is located around beautiful landscape. Hopefully, no earthquake will shake the tiny foundation beneath it. hahah :P

two, balancing rock is located at Digby, Nova Scotia. This rock is a 30 feet high horizontal columnar basalt at the Nova Scotia, Canada. What make the balancing rock amazing is around 50% of the rock column stands over the air. fuhh so amazing wooo. If the stone is man made, can you imagine how difficult is to find the precise calculation to stand the huge rock at the edge of cliff for hundreds of years against storms, rain and winds? haha! 

three, Idol Rock. Idol rock is a family of several balance rocks that scatter around 50 acre of Brimham Moor area, North York shire, UK. Idol rock is around 200 tonnes and it is only supported by a smaller pyramidal stone. It is unbelievable and outstanding. The small pyramidal stone carries huge pressure from Idol rock and balances the odd shape stone flawlessly. Another family of Idol rocks are The Sphinx, The Watchdog, The Camel, The Turtle, and The Dancing Bear. All these strange, amazing and huge balanced stone can be found at Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

four, this one is El Torcal de Antequera located at andalusia, spain. El Torcal de Antequera is stack stone towers of terrace limestone rock with horizontal weathering patterns. It is tall, old and stable. Wind, rain and sun have evolved the stone become flapjack stacks that attracts many people every year. Although it is strong and balance climbing this rock is not recommendable. for suicide might be allowed. hahaha!

five, this one is the best! it is at norway named Kjeragbolten or Kjerag Boulder is a 5 square meters (roughly 15 sq ft) rock that is stuck between 2 gigantic wall of Kjerag mountain. The rock is trapped above 1,000 meters air for thousand of years. according to people, it is safe to stand above the Boulder but i think the recommendation is only for those who has weight 40kg and below. For those who 60kg above better don't. hahahaha! (jangan cari nahas weyh.) The only thing to remember is don’t look down when you ride it. huhu! 

 

six, Peyro Clabado or Nailed Rock is located at Languedoc, France. It is eroded granite boulders and rock formations that is left by 300 million years activity of old mountain that formed western Europe. One of the balance rock is 780 tons weight .One day, around one millennium to the future,  the Peyro Clabado will just sand and sediment. 

seven, Mushroom Rocks. The Rocks can be found in Mushroom Rock State Park at the Smoky Hills region of Kansas. The Mushroom Rock State Park is only 5 acres and it saves old mushroom balancing rocks that are already here since long time ago. The size of the balancing rock is different. One of them is so big so that it looks like a hookah smoking caterpillar in the movie Alice of the wonderland. haha!

eight, Chiremba Balancing Rocks are typical weathered boulders balancing rock same as what on Sidore-France. It was carved by winds and weather since millions of years before it looks like what we know today. Chiremba Balancing Rocks is located only few miles from Zimbabwe`s capitol or Southeast of Harare.

nine, Mexican Hat Rock. From distance, the rock is like a sombrero cap of Mexico. Mexican Hat Rock is the only balance rock that is located outside Monument Valley of south-central San Juan County, Utah. This rock is 60-foot wide and 12-foot thick. It is a red sandstone rock that is still under construction. Soon or  later, the balancing cap rock below the Mexican hat  is completely eroded. Climb and standing over the stone fasten the erosion actually. don't be the last one to climb. you might be unlucky person if this rock slip or collapse. huhu!

ten, The Steady Hand Of Man. This balancing rocks is the creation of an artist, Daliel Leite inform by local people there. He got inspiration from the balancing stone object around the world and he tried to make his own balancing stone in a small scale. He only know small information of art of balancing rock and he applied it on this rocks. It is unknown whether the rocks tumbling down seconds after it was photographed or not. fuhh style isn't it? these are amazing rocks which roxx the world. i'll keep updating this blog with amazing stories. keep update readers and thank you for reading my post. take care.

end.
