Fresh from Pumpkin´Island in Dormagen near Cologne -
lots and lots of innocent pumpkins waiting for Halloween.


A pumpkin is a squash fruit, most commonly orange
in colour when ripe. Pumpkins grow as a gourd
from a trailing vine of the genus Cucurbita
Cucurbitaceae. Cultivated in North America,
continental Europe, India and some other
countries, as well as in English cottage gardens,
Cucurbita varieties include Curcurbita pepo,
Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita mixta, or Cucurbita
moschata — all plants native to the Western
hemisphere. The pumpkin varies greatly in form,
being sometimes nearly globular, but more
generally oblong or ovoid in shape. The rind is
smooth and variable in colour. The larger kinds
acquire a weight of 40 to 80 lb (18 to 36 kg) but
smaller varieties are in vogue for garden
culture. Pumpkins are a popular food, with their
insides commonly eaten cooked and served in
dishes such as pumpkin pie; the seeds can be
roasted as a snack. Pumpkins are traditionally
used to carve Jack-o'-lanterns for use as part of
Halloween celebrations.

Botanically it is a fruit, referring to a certain
plant part which grows from a flower. However it
is widely regarded as a vegetable in culinary
terms, referring to how it is eaten.

Hallo Thorsten,
super POV... Pumpkins so weit das Auge reicht. Klasse Motiv hast dir da ausgesucht, Halloween steht ja kurz vor der Tuer. Bei mir gibts dann nicht nur Pumpkin pie sonder auch noch Vampirblut (Gluehwein).
Happy Halloween...Sky

Bonjour,
Belle composition à l'aspect graphique sympathique.
Bonne journée.

Nice picture has been shot with an innovative idea. Color of punkins looks fabullous. Excellent composition against the sun light.

Thanks for sharing a nice image.

Great pumpkin field, good colors too. Am not too fond of the frame, but that's just me.

A very interesting photo. Great use of colour, and the lighting works really well.
