A man discovered a rare talent for balancing stones
News24xx.com - 53-year-old resident of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Vladimir Maxientsev, discovered a rare hobby - the art of balancing stones. The man builds a construction of stones, which miraculously hold. Such as he, in the world only a few dozen people.
Hobbies came from Vladimir, when he was already more than 40 years old: he rested with his family on the sea and, in order not to be bored, began to assemble stone constructions. Usually, people make pyramids with a wide base and small pebbles at the top, but Vladimir complicated the task for himself and started with a small stone, and put a large one on top. The construction stood a couple of minutes. Neighbors on the beach, looking at him, also tried to lay down stone structures, but they didn’t succeed.
When he returned home, Maksientsev went to a stone quarry not far from his home, and it turned out that he could build shapeless boulders as easily as small smooth pebbles. Some constructions lasted one to two minutes, others lasted several days.
“For me, a stone is like an interlocutor. I mentally tell him: “You must stand!” - and it listens. I'm not interested in making an ordinary, standard pyramid. I define for myself the most important task. I feel satisfaction only if I put a stone on a sharp edge or I put it on a small cobblestone big.
Here are other craftsmen with the same skill:
The artist Peter Riedel from Toronto made a profitable business out of his ability: he creates pyramids, photographs them and organizes exhibitions in galleries.
Unbelievable stone towers created by artist Michael Grab from Colorado. He is sure that the art of balancing stones has been practiced for many centuries and was one of the elements of medieval magic.
Devin Devine collects stone sculptures without cement and glue, only gravity holds them together.
In the US state of Texas, is held an annual stone balancing championship, but no more than 20 people from all over the world come to it. Vladimir has never been in the championship himself and collects stones only during the rest at sea.
