Daranak Falls Stone Arts

 Upon entering the Daranak Falls entrance in Tanay, Rizal, the expanse of lower ground from the bridge will show you stone art structures. These are scattered around the area that literally enthralls everyone, astonishing stones piled on top of another in balancing acts obviously difficult to make. I wondered how long each structure remains before a stronger wind breeze topples it down. I further wonder how long it takes to make each individual structure. If i have more time, i will try doing one myself.

several stone art structures around the area

the stone piler in action

I have been seeing these stone balancing structures in the net, yet i don't know how they are formally called. I just call the man as the 'stone piler', because he piles the stones on top of each other. We are fortunate to see the man who did all those stone piles. We asked him to make one and everybody watched in awe. It only took a few minutes, maybe 3-5 minutes before a fully balanced 3-rock-structure was left on its own. We all clapped our hands for him, and he just shrugged his shoulders without a word. Later i will try that too, i promised to myself in silence!

These are the two new additional structures we requested the man to make. It has a grandeur of its own, an identity, an awesome architectural balance against gravity that make all of us silent in awe!
