Onlookers smiled at devoted husband Peter Dansie, 71, who was pushing his wheelchair-bound wife along the tranquil paths of Veale Gardens.
Helen, 67, had once been a passionate gardener and loved being surrounded by the flowers, so he paused at the flowerbeds so she could take it all in.
The public park in Adelaide, Australia, was quiet enough to hear the flow of the water features as it was getting towards the end of the day, and people were heading home.
But Dansie was keen for Helen to enjoy the sunset in her few hours away from the nursing home where she lived. He found a pond surrounded by rocks, parked up her wheelchair on a flat stone and positioned Helen for a view of the sun going down.
