Fruit seller, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

In the Balinese markets, I saw some fruits that were unknown to me. I wonder if you know them. Pink fruits in the right upper corner - Pitaya, known also as dragon fruits. We can buy it in Poland but Ido not like it. Under it in the net - Passionfruit. The passion fruit is so called because it is one of the many species of passion flower, the English translation of the Latin genus name, Passiflora Around 1700, the name was given by missionaries in Brazil as an educational aid while trying to convert the indigenous inhabitants to Christianity; its name was flor das cinco chagas or "flower of the five wounds" to illustrate the crucifixion of Christ, with other plant components also named after an emblem in the Passion of Jesus.The fruits have a juicy edible center composed of a large number of seeds. They are known as maracuja and granadilla. In the lower part - big fruits of durian. Because of the bad smell, they are not allowed in transportation. Under dragon fruits, in the nets - salaks, the snake fruits. It was something new for me. Inside there is something similar to a nut. Very tasty.(see Workshop.) Above them rambutan - something similar to lichi. And in the lower right corner, what I like - mangosteen.

Hi Malgo,
A great variation on exotic fruits and a great street and market scene,
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hello Malgo,
As you may understand I recognize all these fruits and I have tasted them all. The mangosteen and the rambutan are my favourites, but the durian was my most interesting experience. I hope you gave it a try. It is really quite delicious in spite of the bad smell. It's a nice snapshot with nice colours, and I am glad you included the saleslady. I had almost forgotten the snake fruit, but now I was reminded of its nice taste and peculiar look. Thanks for the closer look in the WS.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo,

This was interesting to read, as well as interesting to view.
There are a lot of fruits that I have not tried and some that I have not heard of previously.(There was a programme on TV recently explaining about the bad smell of the durian but I had forgotten, until I read your notes.)
The photograph is colourful and richly textured.
The stall holder looks perfectly relaxed and is, perhaps, sampling her own produce. I very good advert!
It seems that you had fun testing new fruits.
I would have done the same.

Keep safe,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, chère Maglo,
L'on voit tout de suite la personne qui connaît bien les fruits et légumes ainsi que l'historique pouvant s'y rattacher.
Ce qui me surprend (je suis un homme) c'est la présence de ces figurines et objets de décoration mélangés aux fruits.
Très bien, comme d'habitude.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Malgo, I always find scenes like this interesting, and with your informative notes we are able to identify the various fruits. I like that you included the sales lady.
The dolls at the rear of the stall are a puzzle to me!
Thanks for sharing, regards Jean.

Hi Malgo,

You have captured well the wondering expression of the woman. The point of view is showing the details of the fruits and vegetables. The light is bringing out the colours. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
A great photo of this stall full of brightly coloured fruit, the green, orange and pink tones in particular go really well together. Also the collection of small sculptures is well included in the background.

Ciao Malgo,i recognize very well the fruits in the main pic but i never saw the snake fruits of the WS. Interesting post with a rich and colorful street shop selling stautes too. About the virus,after 17 days at home we can't see good results,i'm very sad. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Ciekawa "kulinarna" prezentacja.
pozdrawiam w tych nielekkich czasach

Hi Malgo
A great photo of delicious Indonesian fruit most of which we grow and eat in Australia, although I'm a bit like you with the dragon fruit.
cheers

Hi Malgo,
Well presented this fruits market in the street, well composed with the lady. Good colors, always interesting to discover tropical fruits, interesting to taste also but sometimes so strange taste, tfs.

ikeharel (106389) 2020-03-29 1:04

Hello Malgo,
A vivid picture of the colorful fruits and other merchandise on display.
Face expression of the lady-seller shows that she was deep in thoughts, not noticed you...
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

abmdsudi (89415) 2020-03-29 20:15

Hi Malgorzata
Good candid and so colourful. maybe an idea to use wide angle lens to get in close to the foreground fruit so they appear larger in the frame...
Best regards

dekanski (7833) 2020-03-31 15:22

And not just fruits !?

I hardly recognized three fruits!
