Inukshuk on the Portage River, ©voyager, all rights reserved
This is another section of the Portage River and if you look closely you can see that someone has taken the time to build a few inukshuk on the shoal, probably while waiting for a fish to bite. The water here is very clean and these are bring home to eat fish if you can catch one.
*Looks up the word inukshuk.* Oh cool.
Peaceful.
Sometimes I try to build inukshuks here, but the rocks just aren’t right.
Beautiful clear water.
National Heritage in the UK have been warning people not to make inukshuks on historical sites. Some people have even been taking stones from ancient (as old as neolithic) walls just so they can leave their mark.
Like rq says, peaceful. That’s the word that comes to mind.
A while ago I was in place where there are a lot of inukshuks, it’s a tall rock formation and people bring stones from the small beaches below and build inukshuks along the way up from the beaches to the cliffs. Suddenly I noticed two persons, looked like father and daughter, destroying all the inukshuks they passed by and throwing the rocks back at the beach. I’m not sure what motivated them, but it was a weird sight.
Oh, what a beautiful place. It would be so calm and serene, I’d want to stay.
rq,
We have great rocks here for inukshuk and we see them often. It’s one of those things the tourists like to do at the beach.

jazzlet,
People just seem to be getting more fucked up. It’s like nobody cares about anything except themselves.

Nightjar,
Very odd.
The inukshuks are cool. However with the kind of rounded stones we have, I wouldn’t be too inclined to build them here. Perhaps I’d make a round enclosure and cows from sticks and spruce or pine pinecones.
I love the reflections and that you can see the bottom of the river.
Ice Swimmer,
You use what you got! (I’m going to have to start playing with pinecones)
