  1. Good Morning #Canada
    I think most Canadians know what an #Inukshuk is, but this post is intended to give you a greater understanding of these iconic piles of rock. An inuksuk, or inukshuk (plural inuksuit) is a type of stone landmark or cairn built and used by Inuit, including Iñupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the North American Arctic. These structures are found in northern Canada, north of the Arctic Circle, which is dominated by the tundra biome and has areas with few natural landmarks. These structures, often resembling human figures, serve various purposes, primarily as navigational aids and markers, but also as symbols of the Arctic landscape and Inuit culture.

    Still was a fun prompt, gave me lots of ideas, but I settled on trying to create a weathered old inukshuk :)

  4. #dogladysden #photographer A windy winter's day at the lake. These rock sculptures are a common sight along the shore. Inukshuks are made of stacked stones that stay up because they are balanced on each other. Every stone supports the one above and below it. Like snowflakes, they're all different. 🌊🪨🌊🪨🌊🪨🌊 #LakeOntario #Inukshuk #rocksculpture #windyday #bythelake #bythelakeside #Canadiana #CanadianTraditions #InuitArt #InuitSculpture #naturephotographyinstagram.com/p/CpgDRn2JdcU/?u #DogladysDen
