It just shows that for talented people with ideas to burn, it's all about the process. Your tour and photos will stand as a great tribute, Gerhard!

I suspect the impetus to eliminate it had something to do with deciding to sell the house. Ponds require a lot of work to maintain, and I bet they decided the house would sell more easily without it. The pond was beautiful, but the new redesigned garden is also stunning.
