Mangosteen & Night Shots from Oslo
Went outside to see if I could shoot some photos of the full moon tonight, but didn’t succeed. Ended up with these night shots of Oslo and a picture of the tasty fruit mangosteen instead:
“Vannspeilet & The Barcode” (Vannspeilet og Barcode-rekken), Oslo
The purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), colloquially known simply as mangosteen.
“The purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), colloquially known simply as mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia. The tree grows from 7 to 25 m tall. The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, and somewhat fibrous, with an inedible, deep reddish purple-colored rind (exocarp) when ripe.” (Wikipedia)

The moon showed up after I had returned home, but I didn’t feel like going out again. Hopefully you had more luck than I did.

Wonderful reflections in the water, but I really like the second one too! That is a fruit I’ve never seen… there are so many of those exotic fruits in the grocery stores nowadays … I’m going to try the dragon fruit very soon.

The dragon fruit is good, but in my opinion mongosteen is much better. Dragon fruit looks really tasty, but it’s a bit bland. Mangosteen, together with mango from North India, is probably the best fruits that it’s possible to eat. Almost like a little orgasm is the mouth.
Edit: I tried to post a picture of a dragon fruit here, but something went wrong. So here’s a link to the photo (in case some readers are wondering how a draon fruit looks like). It opens in a new tab/window:

Cool!
I’ve got to give them a try, though … if for nothing else, the way they look!

They’re not bad at all, but after having judged them by their looks I had huge expectations.

Looks interesting..

You should really try mangosteen. Oslo is probably a nice place to visit, but in my opinion it’s a bit too small and boring place to live.

Yes – as a danish guy with business around Europe – I really just love to visit Oslo also stayed a couple of days – it’s great – but I couldn’t make it permanent – I fell the same way to Copenhagen…
