Skogskyrkogården 30/10/14

Finished my paper early and thought the weather was not to be missed, so I went back, took my coat, and headed out to this place on my to-go list:


Skogskyrkogården is a UNESCO heritage because of its history and some of the architecture inside. Entering the entrance and I know it's not a mistake to visit this place alone; it's really a place that can only be described as "peaceful" and"surreal". But it's not the Lim Chu Kang kind of peaceful, it's much cleaner (no burning of incense or papers), the fields are wider and greener, and there are buildings that actually appeal to the eyes. Oh, why am I comparing it to LCK? Cos it's a cemetery... 


Read reviews on TripAdvisor and many said they were here in the evening, and as the sun sets, it becomes kinda creepy (what do you expect of a cemetery, really). But I came as the sun was right above my head, so I could keep scary thoughts out of my mind, and just sit down, observe, blank out, and just soak myself into the silence. If it wasn't for the cold weather, spinning head and dripping nose, I can probably just stay there and zone out the whole afternoon (this is after I finished a finals with 8 essay questions, so ain't that difficult to empty the brain)...
