•  Info The Inukshuk, a sculpture made up of piled stones, is a familiar symbol of the Inuit, mostly found in the Arctic landscape and often used as a navigational tool. All by Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 00:00, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Nice composition. But I suggest fixing that halo effect between object and sky. --August Geyler (talk) 14:52, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • @Augustgeyler: Thanks for the suggestion, tried to fix it manually. How is it now? --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    •  Comment Well, the darker sky gave more drama to the scene. But it's definitely better without the halo effect.--August Geyler (talk) 21:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't know ... I've seen and photographed quite a few inuksuit, in Canada and down here, and this one just doesn't stand out (in fact, it's hard to photograph one in a way that really makes it seem like you've never seen one before, even if you genuinely haven't, that might be part of the idea). Daniel Case (talk) 02:53, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  @Daniel Case: Thanks for your honest opinion, actually you are right. This was my first time seeing an inuksuk. Though this inuksuk stands out among others because of its height which is almost 30 feet making it one of the tallest Inuksuit in the whole world (The inuksuit can be as large as 6 to 7 feet in height - per "Parks Canada Directory of Federal Heritage Designations"). Though there are few in North America, I doubt many people know about them. I even asked my school teachers who were unaware of the Toronto inuksuit. --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)}}

  Large inuksuit, you mean? Because there are plenty in North America, on both sides of the border. This is my photo that includes the 'suk at the Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife. Down here, there's the one at the Canadian embassy in Washington. And then someone built one one dry summer in a river near where I live.

  I was thinking there might not be any in Mexico, but I was wrong. Daniel Case (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  @Daniel Case: The govt. website stated them as 'Large' you can check [1] . I tried to find out if there is any list of the tallest inuksuit, but I couldn't find any except the tallest to be 37 feet. Though they range in size from .5 meters (1.6 ft) 2 meters (6.6 ft) in height and up to 2 meters (6.6 ft) in width (per paragraph 7 ). So, this 30 feet tall inukshuk is definitely rare.--Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 20:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
