Yoshiyuki is very proud of this shot! This is one of the centenarian wisterias in full bloom at Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.I have never ever seen such a venerable tree looking so extraordinarily beautiful! So.....there IS beauty in old age!

May we be so lucky as to emote beauty, strength and emotional depth at an advanced age. My guess is that this photo doesn't even begin to capture the stunning beauty of this massive wisteria.

@Daroru: Oh, no! It's like a roof crashing down on you, but you don't care because it is amazing!Thanks for the appreciation!
OH MY GOODNESS! this is incredible Gabriela. I can just imagine the perfume from this amazing wisteria. It makes the one in my garden look so tiny. Beautifully captured.

@MaryB: Dear Mary, I wish I could have even your "tiny" wisteria!!!! I'm glad you like it!
I have never seen such a huge, old wisteria in all my life. This is quite a sight, Gabriela. I am in awe and wonder what it must feel like to stand under the tree and look up into the blue dome of flowers.
