The mysterious stone figures known as inuksuit can be found throughout the circumpolar world. Inukshuk,the singular of inuksuit,means "in the likeness of a human" in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."

Very interesting information Vanda and a good shot of their talents. It is very impressive what they accomplish with their works. It looks good in the vertical format.

I guess this impressive work in stone leaves no question as to whether or not "someone was here". Nice balancing act with those stones & a nice photo of them. ...Ed

Beautiful shot of the interesting stone figures. I like your vertical format, too. They make me think of Stonehenge.
