Using observations of smoke, water, leaves and trees from Beaufort’s Wind Force Scale, autumn leaves record wind direction and speed.  Inspired by Inuit orienting practices, a sense of place and finding ones way is primarily understood through cultural “mindscapes” shared by community and wind direction/speed felt by the body and formed in snow.
