The crazy man with the stone towers

Often when I went to places where there were big stones and rocks,
and I spent a quiet time during my holidays, I met a crazy man
who showed quite an effort to stack heavy stones on top of each other.
Sometimes it seemed that he choose the most difficult way
to stack them - vertically.
It seems that he has a passion for what he is doing.

Gravity and balance	Patience and feeling	Stability	Seemingly impossible	Resisting the wind
Why straight?	Each rock has its own center of gravity	Growing tall	It's crazy	Here he is again ...
... next to the wild river	Stacking wet rocks	Higher ...	... and higher	Reaching towards the blue sky
Tower at Ägerisee	Stability ...	... and precise placing of the next rock ...	... makes a nice monument	A quiet afternoon
Rocks and lake	Tower after sunset	And this is how he does all this	On top of Mt. Niesen	At Lago Maggiore
