All pictures are ones that I have taken over the years with many types of devices, from cell phones and cameras.  The pictures are finally coming in handy, many times I almost deleted them to save space on my hard drives.

Most of the pictures are from La Ronge and Hall Lake, SK. The river is Montreal River that goes from Lac La Ronge Lake to Bigstone Lake.
