On January 21, I took a walk through the local cemetary. It was so beautiful! There were so many birds that you wouldn't have been able to hold a normal conversation. It was also the largest number of trees I've seen since I arrived - there's not really much soil anywhere else in the country.
 |
| Some pretty flowers |
 |
| The trees were growing right in the plots! |
 |
| This was a little baby :( |
 |
| In some places the trees were taking over |
 |
| Plots at the cemetary |
 |
| A three-year old child that passed away over 100 years ago still gets decorations around the holidays |
 |
| A plot with a gate |
 |
| So beautiful |
 |
| The vivid moss |
 |
| The pathways lit up |
 |
| An old monument |
 |
| An old stone |
 |
| A tiny stone |
 |
| A display telling me about some of the monuments and the stones of which some of them are made |
 |
| A really old stone |
 |
| I'm not sure how I would feel if a tree this large were growing in my loved one's grave? |
 |
| The gate on this plot disappeard a long time ago |
 |
| Another sign telling me where some of the famous Icelanders are buried |
 |
| I'm still really bad with Icelandic names, but based on the dates I am guessing that this is a son, his mother, and his grandmother |
