I ran into it in high school - OAC year, I think (a.k.a. obsolete Ontario grade 13 that doesn't exist anymore) - and it's stuck with me since then.
I just - I've SEEN those landscapes firsthand, up where the Canadian Shield starts around highway 7. Where the bedrock's like two feet down under the soil often, and it's usually a pink - i think it's granite. And they can't jackhammer it because it's too dang hard and that'd take ages, and have to ESPLOD if they want to move it anywhere or widen a highway. Algonquin Park (a.k.a. Big McLarge Huge) is probably the most famous park up there, though I've never been; Silent Lake is the one I'm really familiar with.
I haven't been camping in ages but I still REMEMBER seeing reflections like that on water. Everythng's so green, and it even SMELLS green, and at night you can look up and on really clear moonless nights there's so many damn stars that you can lose the big dipper sometimes.
tl;dr Yukie is so Canadian omfg and she really likes trees XD I could live without the blackflies though. Oh gawd.
