Cette photo a été prise lors d'une visite touristique dans la région de Parry Sound Ontario Canada. Ce petit monument fesait face à une baie. Je trouvais cela très intéressant comme objet immobile.


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 travellers, to warn of impending danger, to mark a place of respect, or to act as helpers in the hunting of caribou. Similar stone figures were made all over the world in ancient times, but the Arctic is one of the few places where they still stand. An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Inuit tradition forbids the destruction of inuksuit.

Not a strong challenge subject and the vinette doesn't really work.

I like this shot but the vignetting is very distracting IMO.
