Spontaneous Inukshuk

From Gladys We: “These are from this gorgeous afternoon — so many people on that walk, and so many of them decided to go down and make art for themselves, including my 6-year-old. It was a highlight of my Olympic experience!

“I wonder if this rock-stacking thing is a uniquely Vancouver art  form? That fellow who does them around Stanley Park is amazing, but  these squarish concrete pieces are definitely more accessible to amateurs than his gorgeous roundish rocks.”

  1. I left an inukshuk on my trip to Yellowknife. There are quite a few up there, of course, seeing as the arctic is where it comes from, used as a marker for travelers, and is deeply rooted in the northern culture, appearing even on the flag of Nunavut.

    I do like the variety of those pieces, though.
