Winter Green

Winter Green The Lunch Bench
You have seen it before. The Meditation Hill, (Almhöjden) at the Skogskyrkogården cemetery. And also the Mirror Pond. (Spegeldammen). I visit the cemetery a few times every week because since a pit-stop here back in October 2021 I decided to make this UNESCO World Heritage Site a photo project. So every time I bike to and from Stockholm, I usually stop here for a few photos. And it is a nice place for a temporary rest, pun intended. Anyway, on this recent visit I was a bit surprised how green the grass was, unusual for January in Sweden I think.

Yes I noticed the green grass too. Must not be so cold in your place. Our winter is also not so real, just a little bit frost in the night. Not enough for skating...

"That Old Tree" has competition from The Meditation Hill trees? (‾⌣‾)

Yes, no snow.

Close, these are elm trees. This whole area used to be a forest more or less. And after the snowstorm in November workers are still busy cleaning up all the broken tree branches here. Thousands and thousands down everywhere.

We had a period of 3C days, which was very nice . Then colder weather for a week. Then two days with 6C, this was one of them. And now it is colder again, below freezing.

Love the 1st shot. We have had green grass too until yesterday when the snow came.
