... Making My Own Balance.
Both, since balance, seems to inspire balance.
This one I built myself. When something is missing, create it.
Right? But I was not the first one to populate our Black Sea coast with the balanced stones towers. I saw a few when I got there. Not many, but a few.
Here they are from afar, so far that you barely see the towers themselves. And those were about chest-level high.
Let's call this Stone Balance Beach.
And some of them were quite elaborate.
Like this one, which had a window.
There were nude people behind that window and that's why I don't have a better angle of it. I will leave it to your imagination. You're better off that way, trust me. No, I don't mean anything. Even if I do.
But it was this previous piece, along with this one...
I think I picked the perfect round base for my frame. It's not the bottom stone of the structure.
...that inspired my stone balancing urge.
And I built...
...hold on, let's take another angle at this one...
...and then one more...
...where was I...ah, and I built and I balanced...
This on did not last long. Waves are not the best of constants.
But I managed to take another angle at this one, too.
Until I built no more. So I think the one I was able to start from rock already standing in shallow waters, that one was my favorite because of the reflections. And its elegant silhouette.
There, a wider angle at it and its surroundings.
And you know why I did it? For various reasons that sound plausible, like because I wanted an image for stock photography (which is also something I do here in a project of mine...coming back to you soon), or because I wanted to give my wife a foreground for her oil painting...
(Not yet finished but she already has an account here made just a couple of weeks ago - right before our vacation and before share2steem crumbled like so many stones which have lost their balance... to maybe rise again someday, let's hope. So, if you want to find out more about her paintings...which will eventually come here as images, you can follow her. Her account, the one we still have the pass to after an earlier unsuccessful attempt..., is 
...Right, reasons for building. To practice my balancing skills? To leave a mark on the beach for people to enjoy? To show off here? All of those, but mostly...
Because I enjoyed it. Go and build a tower of stones and see if you don't enjoy it, too. And perhaps along the way, you will find some balance within that you did not know was there.
Best of summer to you!
Yours,
Manol
