Hello Stinkbugprod.
Thank You visiting and leaving Your comment here. This summer we have had many downbursts and now I start to understand the power of the “Mother Nature”. Those downbursts are consequences due to extremely warm weather which has lasted about six weeks in my country.

Bonjour Matti,
J’espère que la sépulture de ton père n’a pas été endommagée.
Ce qu’on appelle “le repos éternel” ne serait qu’une illusion ?…
Bon week-end.

Bonjour Marion.
La tombe de mon père est dans une partie du cimetière où l’orage passé sans rien á faire. Ces pierres sont élevés prisé, je sais que, parce que il ya quelques années, que j’ai acheté une nouvelle pierre de tombe au tombe de mon père. Merci de commenter.
Joyeux dimanche.

Oh my, how sad! All those beautiful old trees felled by the powerful storm. What a lovely cemetery as I can see it before the destruction of the trees. How old is this cemetery? It must have been sobering to walk among there with all the splintered and downed trees.
Comment by Anna — August 14, 2010 @ 20:24 |
Hello Anna.
Thank You commenting. The cemetery is old, it is most probably from the 18th century. The area where the cemetery is very cultivated and there are few manors which are old. The most peculiar thing is that this area is called “Small Paris” because in the 19th century those upper class spoke French.
Well and back to the cemetery. I like this cemetery just to that reason, that decendents are lying among old pine trees.
Happy Sunday.

Debió ser terrible la tormenta para derribar los árboles del cementerio.
Bunas fotos que reflejan lo ocurrido.
Saludos desde España

Wow, that was quite a storm. I am surprised there isn’t more obvious damage to the grave stones.
Comment by kateri — August 15, 2010 @ 04:23 |
Hello Kateri.
Thank You. You are right when saying so. I passed thru all the cemetery and the fact is that only few grave stones were damaged.
Comment by sartenada — August 15, 2010 @ 10:43 |
My, what a storm that must have been! I have seen the aftermath of some here too, but never while one was in progress. It’s very sad to see the destruction of such beautiful trees and damage to the headstones.
Comment by montucky — August 15, 2010 @ 06:13 |
Hello Montucky.
This year will stay in our history books when thinking extremely hot weather and quite many heavy storms. When cold weather meets hot weather, it causes heavy storms. My father’s grave was not damaged.
Happy Sunday.
Comment by sartenada — August 15, 2010 @ 10:47 |
At least it was a storm causing the damage, it is much worse when vandals strike a cemetery causing more havoc than a storm.

Hello Preston.
In this case You are so right. Thank You commenting.

I had just been out taking photographs in an old graveyard when I found your Blog! What a storm! I have been reading about that storm after very high temperatures in Finland – the highest since 1914! Let’s hope that is the last one for this year.
Comment by jackiequeen — August 17, 2010 @ 13:39 |
Hi Jackie.
What a coincidence!
When talking about storms, one of those storms here destroyed all of one camping site with cabins, cars, trailers or whatever on camping site there can be. It seems now that hot weather is not wailing here no more. Can You imagine six weeks temperature varying between 28 Celsius up to the highest 37.2 Celsius, mainly between 30-32 Celsius. There where I live we got rain only twice during six weeks. If You could see our garden now, You were asking: “where is the garden”. Everything is sunburn this summer.
All tourists have been asking that do we have so hot always. Well, not always last time we had it in 1914. Then July 9th, 1914 the highest temperature was only 35.9 Celsius.

Bonjour Frammy.
Oui, tu as raison. Merci beaucoup pour votre visite et commentaires.
Belle journèe.
Comment by sartenada — December 14, 2010 @ 07:33 |
These are amazing photos…Nature is so strong and amazing. I can’t believe the trees were uprooted.
Comment by TBM — June 18, 2012 @ 09:37 |
Hi TBM.
Storm has power. This was the first time when I heard that downburst passed a cemetery. Once it damaged a camping site with campers.
Thank You for leaving Your comment.
Have a nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — June 18, 2012 @ 13:38 |
That storm certainly destroyed a lot of trees.
But it looks like most of the headstones of the graves are still standing.
I am glad that your father’s grave was not harmed.

Hello Mary.
How nice that You did find this post. Thank You commenting it so kindly.
Have a great day!
Comment by Sartenada — April 12, 2013 @ 07:01 |
That must have been a devastating storm if such large trees are uprooted. And many graves damaged! What a havoc! Were you fathers grave also damaged?
Comment by mariposa — June 15, 2018 @ 20:55 |
Hello Heidi.
Thank You commenting. My father’s grave was not damaged – happily. We love to visit graveyards because there are on them art. Visiting grave Yards in winter can offer surprises. What do You think about this:
Cemetery in winter
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — June 16, 2018 @ 06:47 |
It is a bit of a search if the grave is so covered in snow! But it does have something special. 🙂 It also seems that the cemetery is located in the middle of a forest, which in itself is also extraordinary for people like me. 🙂 Beautiful pictures! Thank you for sharing with me!
Have a nice weekend!
Comment by mariposa — June 16, 2018 @ 14:51 |
I could not place my comment in your blog about “Cemetery in winter”, so I placed it here.
Comment by mariposa — June 16, 2018 @ 14:53 |
Hello Heidi.
Thank You. I do not know yet today why it does not accept comments. Because I live in a country of Woods, then it is natural that we have wooden art. Here is one of my post presenting them:
Wooden outsider art
BTW, after my Windows updates, I cannot see like buttons on posts and thus I cannot push them. Sigh.
Happy Sunday!
Comment by Sartenada — June 17, 2018 @ 12:21 |
Yes, wp is a weird thing. I think there is a setting for like buttons or something like that somewhere, but you have to find them or know where you can set them.
Happy new week!
Comment by mariposa — June 18, 2018 @ 13:54 |
Hello Heidi.
Thank You. I have tried everything, but no result.
Have a nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — June 19, 2018 @ 07:55 |
I hate to “like” the post as it shows destruction and I hope not too much damage to the graves occurred. But you have captured the scene perfectly with your camera Matti. The snowy graveyard I could not comment on – I think comments were turned off – it was hauntingly beautiful, especially at the end with all the candles that were lit for prayers.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 25, 2020 @ 02:09 |
Hello LInda.
My father’s grave was not damaged – happily. Downburst damaged only a part of cemetery. I could not understand that you could not comment my post cemetery in winter. I have noticed that this happens occasionally. Anyway, I am glad that you saw the post and loved it. Thank you.
Have a great day!
Comment by Sartenada — September 25, 2020 @ 06:38 |
That is good Matti – how awful for the other gravesites that were damaged though. There are little gremlins in my blog too – I don’t know why it happens either. I did see the post and thank yo for sending it to me.
You have a great day as well!
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 26, 2020 @ 03:17 |
Thank you Linda.
Comment by Sartenada — September 26, 2020 @ 07:02 |
You’re welcome Matti.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 27, 2020 @ 03:50 |
Good morning Linda.
I find it amazing that you did not love the song dedicated to you. If somebody would send me a song in which the title of my name and repeats it, I would be very happy, especially when the song would very beautiful. Yours is! Nearly 2.3 million people has listened it, which verifies that it is a very good enjoyable music, not background music. Well, maybe you have heard it so many times, that you are tired to listen to it!
In Finland we have many songs dedicated to women. Many of them are Tangos (we have Tango festivals) and so is also the tango dedicated to my wife. Your country is big and it must mean that the amount of such songs dedicated to women, must be much bigger than here in my country! Isn’t it fantastic? This verifies how much we love women and appreciate them.
Happy Sunday!
Comment by Sartenada — September 27, 2020 @ 07:26 |
Your countrymen treat your women much nicer than here it seems. I had not heard the “Linda Linda” song before Matti … I don’t know why, but maybe it was not as popular here, but thank you for sending it to me. Enjoy your day!
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 28, 2020 @ 02:28 |
Yes, it is a very beautiful song! When exchanging messages with you, I got the idea of presenting my “Music corner” in every new post; starting tomorrow. Every time a song from some country of our world. Thank you.
Have wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — September 28, 2020 @ 06:46 |
Glad our exchanging of messages will bring a fresh perspective to your blog Matti. I look forward to seeing tomorrow’s post. Have a great day!
