The pomegranate fruit is originated from Iran and northern India, yet it is said that Iran is the largest exporter in the world, it is know as ” Anar”. Although here in California ], because of a similar climate, the pomegranate bushes are seen all around.
Once this fruit is opened up, it shows it’s real beauty, the kernels appear like jewels.
The red seeds are placed like in a cone, similar to a honey cone
The Iranian tradition celebrates Yalda, on the longest and darkest night of the year, it’s a winter solstice celebration. Pomegranates are one of the significant fruits of this tradition.
As the red color symbolizes the dawn and glow of life.

You are an amazing photographer Cornelia. I just love the many angles of the fruit you have captured. 😍
Radhika, thank you so much for your very kind compliments, I just loved capturing this amazing fruit.
Out here in India, we call it Anar too. This fruit is highly recommended to ill and recovering patients. By the way, I love your clicks especially the close-ups. Do you use prime lens for such pictures?
How interesting that it’s the same name, I know that’s what they call in Farsi. Thank you, Arv for loving my captures, I use my Micro Nikkor 105 lens , which I love for close-ups
Macro lens around 100mm is super lens. I have seen a couple of photographers using this for street photography too.
Indeed it is. I use it a lot for weddings and as well for my floral photography. It’s a bit heavy though, but absolutely worth it. I got it at a Photography Convention and saved to pay taxes.
Great. Thanks for sharing your perspective and experience. I agree it is heavy but worth the trouble. 😊
Wow! Love those beautiful up close captures, those kernels really look like red gemstones.
Indeed they look like little gemstones, Megala, I am glad you enjoyed my captures.
Love the power from your colours! Unfortunately because of some (stupid) health issue I cannot eat them! But love anyway your pictures!
Thank you Robert, I appreciate your kind comment.
One of the most evocative fruits of Creation… timeless beauty. Lovely shots, Cornelia !
