Graveyard hunting

Once again, summer is on it's way. And I was yet again thinking what to do this summer. Every spring I make big plans and schedules on what I want to do, but usually I can't even manage to do half of them. Usually I don't have money or anyone to go with or I just feel lazy.

Loving my new choker!

So this summer I have decided to focus on 3 things. Only 3.

First thing is Lumous Gothic Festival. I want to go there with my friend again, and this year I will force my boyfriend to tag along!

Second thing is to go Linnanmäki amusement park in Helsinki, this year we must do it since last year we didn't get to do it. :(

The third and last thing is Graveyard hunting.
I have been longing to do a mansion tour on. Especially on the ones that are haunted. But it's hard. Some mansions have a hotel, which are expensive as hell, some you can't get in, some are fenced so you can't even get close.

So I thought, what else has the atmosphere I like..? Graveyards! Oh how I love graveyards in the summer time! You can get such a beautiful pictures especially on the old ones! The great thing about graveyards, is that every city has them and they are open for anyone! So I thought I would document as many graveyards as I can in the summer time! Maybe even have small sessions with my ghost radar.

But no, I am in no means meaning to disrespect anyone. I know how some people get annoyed by goth people in the graveyards taking pictures. But the cruel fact is that graveyards are for dead people, dead people don't really care.

It would be awesome to have a friend to do this with, help me with the pictures and the overall awkwardness that I have going around in public with a camera. But since I don't have any friends living even remotely close to me, I guess I'll try to ask if my boyfriend would like to assist me. It would be really fun to do with him too, but only if he is willing. If he is reading this, what do you say? C:

I have something coming in the mail, but I'll get in next weekend. It's something I have been wanting forever and I can't wait to get my hands on it...!

  3. Outfit is wonderful and I hope you get to do all your summer activities. We have a cemetery in my city (Buffalo, NY) named Forest Lawn and it is set up like a park. There are lots of places to walk and explore, it's a Victorian park style cemetery meant for people and the dead :)

  4. I like the necklace, it's a great statement piece! Your plans sound awesome, I would totally go graveyard hunting with you if I lived closer. There is nothing to do around here in the summer. Southwestern Ontario is mostly just farm land and small towns, I like visiting heritage museums to look at stuff, and I enjoy going to the beach, but that's about all there is here. My father once discovered an old abandoned cemetery up north at an old cottage retreat, I insisted he take me there but he refused (I was a pre teen at the time). I've always wanted to find it... but it's only accessible by boat from what I can tell. : / I'd love to take pictures of it and do grave rubbings!

    1. Yeah, it's very lovely! :)
      Aww, all the fun people live far away. :c And I know the feeling, since I used to live in a small ass town with not even those things to do in the summer.. It sucked :D
      But oohhhhhh, too bad he didn't tell you where it was.. You should totally go and look for it though! Rent a boat or something. :D I can imagine it would be absolutely beautiful if no people have roamed through it in a long time..You definitely have to tell me if you ever find it.. :>

  6. lovely choker indeed, grats on that :-) for the 'noone wants to go' thing i see your point. been this way for me ever since i moved away from ruhr area (hence returning there for at least a weekend each month ^^) and dont worry about the graveyard photos, in germany at least people dont really seem to notice who else is there :-) or if they do i just wait a moment and then continue...

      Kuvat ovat joistakin hävinneet mutta kyllä niitä googlettamalla löytää jos haluaa. :)
      Mustion kartanolinna on ollut mulla ainakin tähtäimessä kun se on hotellina nykyään niin sitten kun on vähän ylimääräistä rahaa...

  10. I can't tell how much I liked this outfit. Where'd you get that corset belt from? It's not very common to see it here in Brazil, I really loved it.
    Also in love with your blog :)

    1. Oh thank you! I got the belt second hand :') But it is originally from the clothing shop H&M. They suck sometimes, because they change their line so often that it's hard to get the good stuff if you miss it!
      Hearing that makes me so happy! C:
