Vancouver's Inukshuk

As the 2010 Winter Olympics start today in Vancouver, I will be en route to India for a 5-week yoga training course.

I'm still thinking of you though ... Go Canada! :)

The ancient symbol of the Inuit culture is traditionally used as a landmark and navigational aid and also represents northern hospitality and friendship.

Constructed of grey granite by Alvin Kanak of Rankin Inlet, this monument was commissioned by The Government of Northwest Terrirories for its Pavilion at EXPO 86 and later given to the City of Vancouver.
