In an Enchanted Rose Garden Destroyed by Indignant Old Ladies’ Fatal Lobbying

While I was taking pictures here one day, two old ladies appeared behind me and cried shame and scandal at the sight of the untidy state of this rosarium at some extent left to itself. I, on the other hand, had year after year enjoyed the enchantment of this sleepy rose garden at the Donaukanal in Vienna and found lots and lots of wonderful photo motifs there. I could not foresee the impending disaster at that moment.

Old ladies indignant at untidiness are a natural force that can't be stopped with bare hands (except by strangling them in time, but this isn't allowed by the law). In the spring of the next year, when I wanted to look for the first rose blossoms there, I found a construction site fence with the announcement that they were laying out a new rosarium... I waited one year for the result.

The result? The result is shattering. The result is tidiness without any roses. It's an annoying alibi parkway. The Vienna municipality gardeners are doing great jobs. Any of their parkways is worth being photographed, because they follow their excellent ideas, except this one, which is the result of the indignant old ladies' fatal lobbying.

Luckily I have dozens of photos of this wonderful rosarium destroyed by human stupidity in my archives...
