The Birch Forest

Skogskyrkogården Almhöjden
Two photos from my latest visit to the Woodland Cemetery at Enskede. It was a few degrees warm, and the snow was slowly melting away. Probably all gone by now. These newly planted trees replaced an earlier forest. If you walk through it from here, you will soon find yourself on the 888-meter-long path that will take you from the Meditation Hill (second photo), down to one of the big chapels. As you walk down the path, the trees take over more and more, and it gets a little darker. All thought out by the two young architects a century ago.

The birch forest reminds me of Fairbanks. Our house was surrounded by birch trees.

Such orderliness. Geometric trees. But lovely. Geometry can be pretty .

The rows of trees are so regular it blurs the line between nature and sculpture.
