Fête du Citron: Cinema - the Movie Camera


Today we are in the Jardin Biovès looking at the static displays. The annual Fête du Citron has been featured on this blog each year since 2007, but for anyone seeing it for the first time, the frame is created in metal, wire covers the frame which forms the shape. Later, volunteers cover the frame with oranges and lemons. Each piece of fruit is fixed with a rubber band. We'll see the details of this in a few days.

  5. How extraordinary! The Mediterranean coast just there is my favourite part. How lucky you are to be able to live there.

  6. This camera is really rolling! I think I'm going to have to lay in a stock of oranges while you run this series. Such delicious images.

  10. I want to see a close up of the rubber band technique! I can't figure it out. THis is gorgeous. I do hope these oranges etc. are donated later. A shame for this much fruit to go to waste.
