HO CHI MINH, a photo from Ho Chi Minh, South East

Photographer's Note

I first tasted dragon fruit here in Ho Chi Minh City. I have seen these before in the Philippines but have not tasted it. Now I know how tasty it is. The dragon fruit is a Cactus fruit related to epiphyllum. Epiphyllum are called orchid cactus because of the
large and impressive flowers. The white meat is like a kiwi fruit. One dragon fruit may weight as much as three pounds.

Lovely image Andre!
Great colours, excellent preetation and a large variety of flavours.
I wish you had also included the gentleman in the back, the one selling the fruits. It would make a lovely "men at work" image.

Well done and TFS!

take care, Stef :))

Hallo André!
This photo is a real eyecatcher - even as a thumbnail. The colours are outstanding and the shown fruits are very exotic for European eyes. I think they taste very well ...
Greetings from Germany!
