No photoshop magic in the “Moving Rock” photograph by Martin Quinn, which captures a very intriguing natural phenomenon of moving rocks in Death Valley.
This was taken at the Racetrack in Death Valley. I did nothing to this rock, no one knows why but these rocks move on the dry lake bed. No one has ever seen them move but the trails make it obvious that they do move. The most common belief is that the wind pushes them across the surface when it’s wet.

Very intriguing. I read the comments on the original post and one of them suggested the same effect one sees when a wet wine glass is placed inverted on a table. It moves due to the molecules of water rushing to fill in the infinitesimal space between the rim of the inverted glass and the surface of the table. Very Interesting.
