Default Moving Rock?

I just found this pic on photo.net, and I thought that this is one of the coolest shots I have seen in a long while. The photographer says it is unmanipulated, and as far as I can tell, it's not.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

The link to the photo, not photo.net, has a explanation. Basically, when the desert floor is wet, the wind pushes it. I know, sounds wierd to me too, but I guess it could be possible.

A friend of mine took similar pictures on '98 during a trip in death valley, of course she did not see the rocks moving as well, just the rock and a trace. These are a couple of links I found goggling around for the subject:
