So, let's play !
WHO can tell me what it is ?
ANSWER (monday, 6.00 pm in Paris) :
This is a fruit as many of you discover... a melon to be precised. Thanks to all of you to have "play the game" today. I hope that it may give you some ideas to go further... :-)
It will be difficult for me to visit each and everyone of you today... hope you won't be disappointed... I'll be back on wenesday ! :-)

Have got absolutely no idea - but looks like something that would have inspired an Alfred Hitchcock movie!

@MahGol: You're on the good path with a fruit !
@saeed: You're absolutly right !
@Arash: You must guess ! :-)

une peau de melon ?!
j'aime bien ton travail sur les "peaux" ;-)

@Isao: Ah ! Bien vu ! Une peau de melon, en effet !
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Pour moi c'est aussi une macro de melon (genre galia..). Animaux, végétaux, tu nous prouves encore une fois que les "peaux" sont des sujets variés et graphiques à qui sait observer.

@Evelyne Dubos: Bien vu Evelyne, c'est en effet une peau de melon... et comme tu le mentionnes, il y a vraiment plein de choses à voir sur les fruits et légumes ! A bon entendeur... :-)
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
on passe allègrement de l'animal au végétal... très sympa, et on s'interroge, bien sûr...

@Francesc B.: Alors ?
@Sri: You win ! :-)

Il y a des similitudes avec la robe de la girafe mais ....... verte ????
peut-être serait-ce une écorce de fruits ou arbre ??????
2 Jun 2008 12:59pm
@dan: Fruit, oui !
@lidia: No, not a cactus Lidia...
Veronelle from Lens, France
c'est de saison, donc c'est un fruit ou legume de saison, vert avec une ecorce donc qui s'épluche, il y a des craquelures j'en conclus que c'est un legume ou fruit qui contient beaucoup d'eau........un melon gallia..........riresssssss !

@Veronelle: Tu as gagné... toute mon estime ! :-)

I remember once being sucked into a guess like this only to find it was something a guy's dog picked up and he didn't know what it was himself. I'm still making guesses in my mind years later!

@Ronnie 2¢: Don't worry Ronnie for I know what it is... Should be a shame not to know what I'm eating... no ? :-)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, United States

2 Jun 2008 3:14pm
@dj.tigersprout: Cactue, no ! Fruit, yes !

C'est le temps des quizz ?! mais j'arrive visiblement à la bourre !! Image étrange effectivement, comme vue depuis les lentilles d'un microscope ! Fameux.

j'arrive après la cloture du concours ... je ne pense pas que j'aurais deviné ... mais je suis prête pour la prochaine fois et je cherche des textures de mon côté ;-)))

It looks like a gallia (i think) melon, either way it's a stunning macro shot.

I thought it might be a cantaloupe... very cool!

I was going to guess some kind of fruit - this makes a nice pattern!

Terrific - looks like the landscape of an alien planet :)

Reminds me of the alien vegetation brought on by the invaders in Steven Spielburg's War of the Worlds. Interesting macro.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: I'm happy to tell you that eating a melon is not that risky ! :-)
