Benbrytarväder

Benbrytarväder
I am yet to go through most of the mist photos I took yesterday, but here is a first one. This is from the cemetery I visit so often. Skogskyrkogården at Enskede. This is a little birch forest with newly planted trees next to the 888-meter-long path known as sju brunnars stig. Looking through my Flickr album, I realized that this was my 365th photo from the Woodland Cemetery, which is its English name. Since a few decades, this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is a big tourist destination. There are around ten funerals here every day, year round. Oh, and the title benbrytarväder means bone-breaking weather. Had this been a Spring, Summer, or Autumn visit, I would have walked into the forest to one of the benches, but it looked way too icy for that.

  2. Live and learn eh? For me seeing birch trees in a row in a Cemetery is something that I have not seen before.

  3. If you have the time, have a look at the album. Great place this. Designed by two 30-year-old architects a century ago.

  7. I think this is a really wonderful photo. One of your best. I didn't realize this was ice, until I read about your title. Oh. Sheesh. Anyway, this is a keeper.
