Vancouver's Inukshuk

Inukshuk

Looking out on English Bay is this Inukshuk. They were used as waypoints in Canada's vast northern areas by the Inuit (aka Eskimos). It really is not something that would have been seen for at least a thousand miles north of Vancouver, though. So it really has no bearing on local culture nor history. Why it's here, I'm not entirely sure. Nevertheless, it is rather dramatic in its impressive stature and stark simplicity.
