I wanted to post these purely for the interest aspect of photography versus any artistic quality. This rock known as Ticklish Rock is difficult to photograph because it sits on the very edge of a hillside. If you ever see it you will enjoy a good laugh at its location. It is on private property so I won't divulge its location.

I thought I'd seen everything ,but this defies logic to me. How is that even possible in geologic time and physical transformation ?

Sorry, hit the wrong button. I wanted to also include another rock that made my wife and I laugh when we saw it. It is in Nova Scotia.

Last but not least is a pic of my son in law's attempt at precarious rock statues.

Given a closed system it would be impossible. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

Image #1 is very cool. Since the sunlight seems to be coming from "9 o'clock", I'm guessing that you opened this backside up a bit. Is the rock really that color?
Second image, in NS you'd think that a good stiff wind would topple that. Again, looks like some localized lightening has take place, yes?

That’s a neat rock--pretty good photograph of it, too.
