inuksuk

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 28 September 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Someone had built this on the sandstone beach on Newcastle Island. We like to think of Inuksuks (Inukshuk in English) as being Canadian. The Inuit used them as navigation points, hunting ground markers, point of reference, and even food cache. Now you can find these almost anywhere there is stone and someone put one together. I've seen them everywhere from hiking trails in Banff to the Chilkoot Trail.

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)
