International Inukshuk
Counting down to the 2010 Winter Olympics, to be held in Vancouver, CANADA, photo from Khartoum, SUDAN Galib sent this photo of the gym in Khartoum.
Imagine working out in 45 degree heat on a rooftop, no cover from the blazing sun rays, but look again at the photo, it's not very busy there is it???
The Inukshuk is the offical emblem of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, CANADA.
It is a stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic. Inukshuk is a beacon. For travellers in Canada's North, an Inukshuk is a welcome sight. It says, "I've been here before; you're on the right path".
To see a photo of the Inukshuk in Khartoum, Sudan, puts a smile on my face.
Inukshuk goes international.
Galib, you are on the right path. Keep smiling...and stay hydrated in that 45 degree heat 😊
