An image I captured at a commercial property where the long garden in front of the blue wall is just left to look after itself. Sometimes the contrast between beauty and age or ugliness can make a lovely picture. I was not sure whether to name this image Beauty Before Age or Age Behind Beauty.
Some digital painting effects have been added to the photograph.

Wisteria (genus Wisteria), also spelled wistaria, genus of 8–10 species of twining, usually woody vines of the pea family (Fabaceae). Wisterias are mostly native to Asia and North America but are widely cultivated in other regions for their attractive growth habit and beautiful profuse flowers. In some places outside their native range, the plants have escaped cultivation and are considered invasive species.

Most species are large and fast-growing and can tolerate poor soils. The alternate leaves are pinnately compound (feather formed) with up to 19 leaflets. The flowers, which grow in large, drooping clusters, are blue, purple, rose, or white. The seeds are borne in long, narrow legumes and are poisonous. The plants usually take several years to start flowering and thus are usually cultivated from cuttings or grafts.
