Random Inukshuk

The 2010 Winter Olympics are just 2 weeks away and Richmond is gearing up to hold it's fair share of parties... via SHIPPING CONTAINERS!

The 2010 symbol for Winter Olympics is Inushuk, random statues built up of rocks varying in different sizes... And we have randomly allocated money to assemble this on a randomly quiet corner of Richmond. It's not really "overlooking" DT Richmond... The only thing it's overlooking is Rona, the How-To People. Location aside, I thought it was a cool idea and it reminds me of my old Lego days =D Someone should make that too, a 6 story tall Lego Inukshuk structure looking back at this one...
