The Inuksuk in Vancouvers English Bay. The word inuksuk means "something which acts for or performs the function of a person." The word comes from the morphemes inuk ("person") and -suk ("ersatz or substitute"). It is pronounced inutsuk in Nunavik and the southern part of Baffin Island. The inuksuk is a stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic.

Beautiful photo. The light is amazing. I understand the criticisms others made about the tanker, but on the other hand it does provide another interesting shade of brown!

There's a lot to like about this picture.

I love the colours, the slope of the land, the sun behind the stones, the distance between the objects in the foreground and the background.

The only unresolved tension for me is that the tanker should either have been somehow worked into the title, or, lost in the editing.

That aside a very nice shot.

Nice smooth image, I'd like to know what the structure is.

Great silhouette, and strong background.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Strong composition but let down badly by the boat being cut off by the structure.
