Detour on the way home

I usually feel very inspired after a photo evening. 
A "photo evening" is a monthly occasion that we have with my local photo club, Pictura. Last night we went first to the Turku Dome church that had a modern art exhibition and f.e. works by Andy Warhol! If you're in Turku you should definitely see this exhibition - it's also free of charge!


We also had Lotta Djupsund tell us about her art studies and works, and it was very nice. Afterwards on the way home I took a small detour to the local cemetery in the Student Village where I live, and found a surprise. As you can read in the right column, I'm also a part-time researcher and my topic is 19th century Fenno-Swedish literature. One of the famous Fenno-Swedish book publishers apparently has his grave in this very cemetery! I absolutely had to take a picture. Let's see what it looked like in the evening light.

Anonymous grave with a rusty cross.

"Graf tillhörande kejserlige academie boktryckaren
Magister J.C. Frenckell dess fru och arwingar"
'Grave of the imperial master printer, Master of Arts J.C.F. his wife and descendants'
