  • I know this may sound weird, but to me it is very relaxing to walk in the silent graveyeards and cemetaries, and wonder the beautiful different crosses, stones, statues, flowers, other plantings, and just to enjoy the total silence.

    Often cemetaries are the most beatiful "parks" of many cities (Pere Lachaise in Paris for example, where you can see the graves of many celebrities and famous old time poets, writers, thinkers like Voltaire too).

    This one is a protestant cemetary. There are lots of cats in the neighbourhood; they are said to be the "Guardians of the departed". There is a donation box for donations to cover the costs of taking care of and feeding the cats. A lady is there daily to feed the cats.
