Looking for… in La Ronge, Saskatchewan - La Ronge harbour
Harbour, morning, I will not ask you to take me outThursday, May 7
I am not asking anyone to take a stranger onto the lake. I am asking if someone will have coffee by the harbour and tell me which island I am pointing at, and when the wind is lying.

Lost & found in Greater Sudbury, Ontario - Science North
Science North lot, grey umbrella, one rib bentThursday, May 7
