This is in a large park in southern Vienna, Kurpark Oberlaa, forty years ago the stage of the second International Garden Exhibition in Vienna.</p> <p>Today the park is tended but not exactly well-groomed. There is an area dedicated to allergenic plants, but the signboards are hardly readable and the plants long gone. There is a small farm, still with animals, but the attached inn is closed, the go-cart track is overgrown. That&rsquo;s OK for me and it may keep the park less crowded, even a little sleepy.</p>
