Dun-dun-dun-dun-sunny-dunny Dunbar hosts the World Rock Stacking Championships on behalf of the Llano Earth Art Fest this year and it is taking place right now, this weekend.
As the eclipsed totality drifted across the Texas town of Llano in April this spring, the baton was thrown across the Atlantic to arrive in the near-to-Edinburgh (Edinboro for you Stateside folks) seaside town of Dunbar, home to the eponymous mad maestro James Craig Page and his wizardly creation the European Land Art Festival
Artists and balancers from across Europe, Oceania and the Americas: specifically Germany, Ireland, USA, Canada, Portugal, Czech Republic, Australia, Spain, Italy and all countries of the UK have gathered for sand drawings, balanced stones, mandala workshops, pie, curry and wine leading into to all the magic thingyness of below the tideline beach stacking and how high, how wide competitions.
My contribution was to breeze in, ensure everyone thinks I am a total lunatic and to breeze out again before anyone could find the number for the local asylum.
James Page and his team, including Laurence Winram and Arron Hadfield-Tierney have put together a really fine suite of community threads, binding people together through the heart strings of nature art, playful interactivity and love. I fine thing to see. Kudos to all of you for creating such a fine event. You really affect people's lives.
I hope the eternal sunshine of your spotless minds streams down upon you all of you this weekend as new world champions are made. 🙃
I thangkew.
