The Idol stone


One of the amazing rock formations at Brimham Rocks.  Good thing it's not in the United States, because some Yahoo would have tipped it over by now.

  2. I'm afraid I'm going to have to dispute that.
    While there most surely Yahoos among us they are a small minority, I've personally visited a number of sites like that balanced rock and very few have been disturbed.
    For instance check

    Big Balanced rock in Chiricahua National monument.
    The monument has, by itself, hundreds of un-ruined sites like this and there are at least dozens of sites like it around the country.

  3. Sadly some have vandalized rocks at Brimham, not that rock formation but similar formations. They aren't immune to idiots either. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6526325/brimham-rocks-damage-yorkshire-youths-destroy/
