St. Mary Magdalene Church and cemetery, Bellmansgatan, Södermalm. Construction started in 1588. A very quiet spot in Stockholm, but at the same time just a few meters from the busy Hornsgatan street. On my recent visit, I counted maybe 7 people here. One guy reading from a bench. Three locals discussing current events. One woman just using the cemetery as a shortcut, and two people talking at the door to the old church. I decided to photograph a few headstones, and this is probably the most famous people resting here. The beloved troubadour Evert Taube, and his wife Astri.
Wow very beautiful photographed and presented.
ReplyDeleteI took both photos using my 85mm-lens on the mirrorless Canon. Which means that the church photo is a panorama made from eight photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is a handsome church, looking good in the spring.

ReplyDeleteMagnificent!
ReplyDeleteAt least people are enjoying the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI think of that church as Swedish yellow. Goes very nicely with blue, any color of blue.
