A few years ago I made this Inukshuk statue myself with stones that I’d gathered from my old cottage area. I grew up in Ottawa and spent a lot of time at our cottage in the Ottawa Valley. I always loved the stone cuttings along the highway.
When my parents passed away I knew I wouldn’t get back to that area very often so I wanted something to remind me of my past and childhood … that’s why I gathered the stones for my garden. Once I got the stones home I had to decide what to do with them. It didn’t take me too long to decide to make this Inuit welcome statue.
This makes for a beautiful Winter photo, what with the snow cover. Do you have a “fair weather” photo as well?
