Flags and statue

 The Helsinki Cathedral (in Finnish Helsingin tuomiokirkko) is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral and the seat of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The church was built as a tribute to the Grand Duke, Nicholas I, the Tsar of Russia and until the independence of Finland in 1917, it was called St. Nicholas' church. (thank you wikipedia).

Path to peace
What caught my attention was the format for the dates. I also liked how green the grave was. Maybe Lindgren contains "green" and this is a tribute.
