In Sweden we celebrate All Saints' Day the Saturday closest to Nov 1st. This year it was Nov 1st. Which ment it was also Halloween,a phenomenon now spreading across Sweden. In a way similar to our easter witches. :)

Well, the first image shows the area in the graveyard with graves. Almost all of them has been lit. Quite amazing I think. The second image is the area where ashes of  cremated are spread.   Both my parents are there. It is a small pond, in a lawn area, with water in it and people lit their candles all around it. It is beautiful but I always whish for frost or a little bit snow as it would be even more beautiful.
