Rush Hour In The Cemetery

 

 

 

This weekend is our Halloween / All Saints Day.
A holiday which in Sweden is primarily “celebrated” by visiting family graves and lighting candles.

 

This is different cemetery from the one in yesterday’s post and much bigger. My visit there this “Halloween” Friday was before noon and I have to say I was a little taken aback as I entered the cemetery (on foot) and saw all the cars. I know it tends to get crowded towards dusk on these occasions, but I had not expected traffic jam at 11 am! In that first picture, none of the cars was getting anywhere, and someone even started honking their car horn! (That really helps in that kind of situation, doesn’t it? And so lifts everyone’s spirit on a day like this…)

 

 

 

 

 

While the traffic was lively, the lake was very still!

 

 

 

 

 

Mosaic Monday: Be Careful Out There

Even though we've had quite a few sunny days lately, it is still very cold, and we're still deeply embedded in snow and ice. Bare patches are beginning to appear here and there, but it's a slow process... In town, there are some heated streets/pavements that are ice free, but you still have to keep watching out for snow and ice falling from above. In other places, you had better look carefully where you put your feet. And the bus drivers are having a tricky time, too!

A Really Snowy Day

This was a week ago, but there is not much difference.
