You have to check out David Scrimshaw’s blog for his account of how he built the amazing urban inukshuk pictured above.

David says: “A couple of years ago, I told Keane I wanted to make an inuksuk … Unlike on the barren tundra, flat rocks are hard to come across here in the centre of Ottawa. So I decided to use urban materials. Keane happily agreed to help me in the quest and between the two of us we amassed a good collection that was kept, of course, in my basement.” **
