Alfred Nobel

Alfred Nobel
I have made four visits to The Northern Burial Place, or Norra begravningsplatsen in Solna, in the last week or so. Here is the grave of the inventor of dynamite. And the man behind the Nobel Prize. Alfred Nobel. They could trim the tree here, I think. He died on the 10th of December 1896. And on that day every year the Nobel Prizes are presented in Stockholm, Sweden, at the annual Prize Award Ceremony.

Very green surrounding

Oh yes, it is like a very green park.

That is a nice monument. I didn't know that about the date of the prizes.

Ultimately, this is how all monuments erected for and by man perish.

Rather peaceful.
