Durian

Discover and savour it, make haste; it's like heaven and hell all-embraced.


Just made the phrase up.

I don't have the courage to taste durian. The smell of this fruit is really bizarre. I've tasted the candy though, no smell and is sweet but I bet it's 70% sugar. :-)

This is my try for the the street photography challenge this week. A crap one but oh well. I'm really so self-conscious taking photos in the streets. I feel like I'm a detective or something and seems like people are staring at me. Joining this challenge will perhaps help me step out of my comfort zone.

Many thanks for the comments and faves on my previous photos. Will catch over the weekend. xxx

Never taste neither, the smell of it is really too bad !
I admire the woman to hold it so close of her nose !!!

I was never able to eat it either... although I had durian ice cream once. I guess we're in the same boat, Bugik! It's a great street shot!

i do love when we get fruits i've never heard of at our market... this one does look somewhat bizarre.

Durian ? Neverheard but a cool theme shot!

You really need to try this wonderful fruit. I eat it by holding by breath, ensuring that I can't smell it while I'm eating. It's delicious, like fruit salad. I love this shot, by the way; you've captured the essence of the fruit with the woman holding it up to her nose and the pile of them in the foreground. It's a lovely street shot and I also like your verse: describes it perfectly.

Very colorful shot and pardon my ignorance, but never heard of Durian.
