Day 5 - Thursday, August 10

Another beautiful sunset. Perhaps a prelude to a beautiful next day? I don't know if you can see it very well but there is a rock cairn or "Inukshuk (singular), meaning "likeness of a person" in Inuktitut (the Inuit language) is a stone figure made by the Inuit. The plural is inuksuit. The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms and for different purposes: to show directions to travelers, to warn of impending danger, to mark a place of respect, or to act as helpers in the hunting of caribou." One of these Inukshuk is the symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics that will be held in Vancouver, BC.
