Description:
I went through a big 'rock balancing' phase many years ago, and during that phase I was traveling around Mexico. Finding myself at a far off edge of the ruins in Tulum, I balanced up a few big stones, then realized they looked very 'in place' here, that they almost looked like they had been there for a long time.

So, I backed off to a hidden spot and watched several groups of tourists come and stare at the pile, stand in front of it, take photos in front of it etc.

Then one poor old guy thought he'd see how stable this thing was, how it had survived over time, his finger slowly reached out and the moment he made even light contact, the precarious balance was upset and the whole pile toppled into a dust cloud faster than anyone could blink. The man and his group looked nervously all around for the approaching federales, but only saw me, squatting 100 yards away covering my laugh with a dusty hand.
