a coastal gravefield during winter.

on a latitude with long winters and short (though lovely) summers, this is what gravefields look like most of the year. their visual place in the landscape during winter is a little difficult to see if the graves are small in size. the snow was far above my knees. i think this stone ship is rockin' it though. it is very pretty. this particular stone ship is sweden's most northern. the final frontier! in the south of scandinavia the stone ships are a lot bigger.

a grave mound.

i came across this old photo on wikipedia. 
the excavation in 1874 of the western grave mound (it is around
1500 years old ) located in Uppsala, Sweden and i thought 
i should share, it's a pretty photo and i haven't seen it before.
