All Saints' Day

All Saints' Day
Skogskyrkogården yesterday afternoon. Thousands of people lighting candles at the graves, and also here at the meditation hill. I heard quite a lot of people complaining that they couldn't find the grave they were looking for in the November darkness.

  3. Coming once a year to the cemetry... is not enough ;-)

  4. Not a young crew, or at least some were on walkers, etc, and maybe a wheelchair? I am curious about the three figures in white at the top of the climb.

    1. Both young and old. I walk up there quite often. From where the three people are standing you have a good view over the nearby chapels, and on this day of an place where a few big candles were burning.

  5. Seems to be the time for a walk along lighted trails.
