Description
An inukshuk is a manmade stone landmark or cairn built for use by the Inuit, Iñupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. Historically, the most common types of inuksuk are built with stone placed upon stone. The simplest type is a single stone positioned in an upright manner. An inunnguaq is the basis of the logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics designed by Vancouver artist Elena Rivera MacGregor. Regardless of the story behind them, there are many inuksuit that have been created by visitors to the English Bay on Vancouver. This shot was taken as the sun began to set over Kitsilano.

Beautiful foreground and skyscape! Fascinating to see the inukshuks, people in the Andes have done similar for millienia on passes and hilltops with views of the high peaks, many of which were / are sacred to them

Thanks James! I didn't realize that this was a tradition shared with indigenous peoples of the Andes. How fascinating.
