April 4: Skogskyrkogården 2
It's a huge place.

The Chapel of the Resurrection.

The gap between the portico and the building shows that they are slightly misaligned.
4412

The long axis back toward the Holy Cross chapel.
4416

There are a lot of these interesting changes in level in the woodland parts of the cemetery.
4419

The back side of the chapel.
4422

All the chapels were closed, it turned out. This was all we could see inside the Chapel of the Resurrection.
4425

Water-catch stones.

A detail from the waiting building (that's a clumsy term, but I'm not sure what a more accurate one would be) across the yard from the chapel.

The waiting building is semicircular.
4437

Here's the back side of it.
4453

On the way back north, looking back toward the Chapel of the Resurrection.

That's a rather taller hedge than I'd ever seen before, I do believe.
4456

Moving along toward Almhöjden.
4458
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4458.jpg)
Back across toward the Holy Cross chapel.
4461

Almhöjden.
4467
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4467.jpg)
It's one of the subtlest prospect/refuges I've seen; the feeling of refuge is only suggested by the low walls.
4474
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4474.jpg)
The crematorium by the Holy Cross chapel, and the columbaria.
4475
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4475.jpg)
The steps down from Almhöjden on the other side.
4480

And from the hill across. Their steepness grows as one descends.
4487
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4487.jpg)
Looking back to the entrance from the same hill.
4489
![](pix/skogskyrkogarden-2/4489.jpg)
Rodential tunnels on the side of the hill.

Back at the metro station.

The train's decoration was good for snapping one out of a cemeterial mindset.
