None. The post above is an example of some of the reasons why it's better this way.

About an hour and a half of mulching the front yard until it started raining. Why the **** do people want bigass yards with lots of plants? Everything that goes into maintaining them is not at all worth it.

2-2½ hour long walk that included a stroll through the city cemetary (I take pictures of gravestones and trees and such. I like old moss covered stones and that kind of thing. It's weird, I know), a quick look into the only record store left in town and a stroll down midtown. The rest of the day, I've been more of a couch potato, watching Groundhog Day and playing Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny.

Cemetery walks are always nice. Do you ever look for tombstones with interesting names or anything like that?

I've spent maybe 5 seconds outside today because I couldn't find my sunscreen.

I do look at the inscriptions sometimes. It's interesting to see very old graves with names that aren't used much anymore, or ways of writing things that aren't used anymore. Very old graves for big shot merchants and other business owners tend to have some fancy writing and give an impression that someone very important died. These days, I think you have to be a mayor or something to get a grave like that!

What I really look for is more interestingly shaped gravestones, old statues and complex textures that I can photograph up close and use in Photoshop later (moss covered marble, cracked stones, rusty old patterned metal fences, etc.) There's also a lot of really beautiful, big trees of many different kinds in this cemetery. I have photos of them from all seasons. It can look extremely interesting during fall season especially.

No need for sunscreen in Denmark right now. The last few days have been a bit chilly, even. Danish summer often sucks.

I'd like to see some of the photos if you have them online anywhere! In some parts of the south around here we have big giant gnarled trees dripping with spanish moss. I love the smell of moss.
And I assume anyone with enough money could have a statue for their grave commissioned before dying. Have you seen this one? It was commissioned by a widow for her husband's grave:



And do they let you wander around cemeteries at night where you live? Over here you'll often get hassled by the security guard if you do.

I legit checked out the grave's ass when I clicked the spoiler button and now I feel like an idiot.

That is one amazing tombstone! I want one of those! And yeah, I agree on moss. I love fall/winter forests when there's no snow, but lots of moss, winter berries and mushrooms. There's a very special smell and atmosphere in a forest during that time.

I put some photos in an imgur album here:

My photograph folders on my PC are a nightmarish mess. I just realized I've never sorted any of it, so it's just gigabytes of files with names like DSC03929 and other such highly descriptive and useful names
It would take hours to sort through it all and delete all the bad pics.

I did find a few that were allright and put them online, but I hope I've got some better stuff hidden in that pile. I know how amazing the cemetary can look in fall, but I haven't really captured it well yet.
I just have an old cellphone with a camera in, not an actual camera. Plus my framing is... questionable...

I've never actually gone in there during the night, but I'm pretty sure they don't lock it and there's no guards. I don't think any Danish cemetaries have guards. Even if they lock the gate, the stone fences are barely waist high at one side of the area, so going in there would be no problem.
