Art or impact?

This I think should be considered art. But most of the time it is unfortunately impact.
Definitely Impact!
Let sights and sounds of Nature prevail. Nature usually doesn't pile up rocks like that.
Yeah, some rocks were moved. Big deal. It's not like it's an out of control fire or human waste in a spring. Besides, it looks cool.
Just piling small rocks doesnt bother me. As long as there is no spray paint involved, or other toxic chemicals, or man-made materials, or holes dug (which speed up erosion) I think it is okay. I like seeing driftwood sculptures, and rock sculptures. This one is a bit too much disturbance of the environment. But generally, I think this ancient human behavior causes little harm.
On a smaller scale, this might be okay, but that is an awful lot of rocks moved from their original locations. While it might look cool, I'd have to go with impact.
This is absolutely impact! I would be disgusted to see this while I was hiking.
One cairn may be art. This is definately impact!
