It was on a springlike evening on the 27th of January 2025. I was walking in the Augarten Park in Graz (Austria) at the river Mur in Graz having my new iPhone 16 with me. I saw the shining city lights on the other side, which were reflected in the river. Still, since they build an electric power plant there, the river moves slowly and quietly and makes almost no sound. I‘m not against electric power plants in general, but they cut a lot of trees and there are not many fish anymore in the water. The haiku tries to describe my melancholic feelings, when I‘m there and especially on that evening.
