Remic Rapids
A year ago, I stumbled upon this magical place, by the Ottawa River, where John Ceprano is working on the art of balance. Last year’s work has probably been dismantled naturally during the winter, but the sculptures currently on display just blew my mind. They are taller, bigger, and there are dozens of them.
The weather was gorgeous, with blue sky and big fluffy white clouds looming over the river. The river was so peaceful I caught a few perfect mirror reflections.
I spent an hour there, admiring both the sculptures and the patience needed to perfectly balance all the rocks. The sculptures are so still there were even spider webs spun between them!
You can see the whole Ottawa Summer set here.

How remarkable. I’ve never seen nor heard anything like this. The creativity of people just never ceases to amaze me. Going back to basic, balancing rocks for art. I love it.
Have you heard of “cairn” before?
It’s very similar to Ceprano’s artworks!
This is so unique and creative! Amazing, all of them are well balanced. I like the mushrooms art!
These are amazing. I suppose the wind eventually knocks them over, right? This requires patience.
Wow, that’s some seriously breath-taking work, Zhu! Gorgeous stuff.
