Impressive Erections

After 10 summers of cruising the lake, I initially saw from a distance these unfamiliar shapes arising at the entrance to a small sheltered bay. Eager to investigate further, I arrived to find these cairns mysteriously stacked by some anonymous but clearly patient visitor. I was impressed and paddled as closely as possible to investigate, my initial thought being that they might be glued together and placed. Not so.

 

The middle structure being remarkable in that there was a secondary small stack also rising from the base stone. The far stone had only one small addition...purposeful or out of time?

 

Checking later, the cairn in the foreground had collapsed, returning to the shallow bottom filled with stones which had perhaps inspired the effort in the first place.
