I was just teaching my daughter about Inukshuks the other day. She saw something like on the road side and asked why someone had made it. It’s very interesting all the places you can see such things.
Love this! Brings me back to Hawai’i, where rock-cairns like this (usually lava-rocks there, or white rocks against a volcanic landscape) are a traditional form of devotion. You can find the volcano dotted with them, often accompanied by offerings of fruit, flower-leis, or even a bottle of alcohol… (Also worthy of note: despite the appearance of “free booze” around the landscape, NO ONE else will touch a bottle left out for Pele, the volcano-goddess!)

Leave a commentI know it is an overused word.. but it is very zen and I like that this morning. Feeling peaceful, feeling happy! Good Morning!
I need a bit of peacefulness every now and then so this works for me. It is currently my screen saver. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Pix.

Cool!!! I did this one on the beach on vacation. 🙂
I can almost hear the waves crashing into the shore. Peaceful. 🙂
Thanks! I could use a bit of this right now so I need to just sit and stare at it a bit……….

Namaste!
This is wordless! Did you take it in North Carolina?
Sounds lovely. 🙂
I learned something new today; first time I’ve seen this. Such a beautiful, peaceful picture.
Love the back drop. 🙂
Nice that somebody stacked these so you could photograph them. Bet they attracted some attention — and how cool is it that nobody knocked them over?!
Truth be told—I stacked them. 🙂
Inukshuks are very popular here in Canada because of our strong native population.
I saw many when we were in Canada–they are very cool.
