A cemetery picnic
It was another glorious Summer day. I had just walked through a part of Södermalm in Stockholm called Mosebacke when I decided to head over to the Katarina church and cemetery. The church was completely destroyed in a fire a few years ago, but have since been rebuilt. As I expected, the green lawns at the cemetery were filled with groups of people lunching, picnicking or just sitting down chatting away with friends. There are a few schools in the area and I noticed a steady stream of summer dressed teenagers walking through the cemetery as well.

Great as always stefan.
This looks so pleasant.
They keep "them" company. I am guessing "they" don't mind.
Often a cemetery is the only large green space available in the heart of the city. I like wandering through them but I'm not sure if I would like a picnic there or not.
No, no one minds. This is how it looks at every cemetery in the city.
We have big green parks everywhere. Most of them designed a century ago. It is a very green city built on many islands.
Images like these make me smile.
Odd spot for a picnic.
