Lofoten - Flakstad cemetery

7 months ago (Edited)

This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes.

Flakstad is a cemetery along the main road in Lofoten archipelago, in Flakstadøya island.
A cemetery in the white, under a snowfall.
Only a name on a white cros. All around a lonely white field. Or maybe sweet...
A name is the only memory that stay alive.

The cemetery is under this big rocky mountain.
A lonely place, cold, hard as death is.
It is like a big mother protecting all these souls, in silence.

Maybe this was the grave of a fisherman:

And here another kind of cemetery: rows of cods that in this season stand out to dry, from which Norvegian people produce stockfish.

If you wish to see more, watching my video 'Lofoten, the kingdom of silence':

I don't feel sadness, but I felt joined with the universe.

After snowfall, these views become more beautiful and it is very relaxing to see their beauty.
