EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, workers can be seen meticulously putting the final touches on a stunning replica of the Forbidden City, entirely crafted with lemons and oranges. This remarkable creation is part of the 82nd Lemon Festival held in Menton, France. The festival requires an astonishing 20,000 hours of work from dedicated teams to set up, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The theme for this year's festival is "Tribulations of a lemon in China" paying homage to the citrus fruit's historical significance in Chinese culture. From February 14 through March 4, visitors will have the opportunity to marvel at these vibrant displays made from approximately 145 metric tons of lemons and oranges. This photograph captures not only the immense effort put into constructing such an intricate masterpiece but also highlights how artistry transcends traditional mediums. The juxtaposition between ancient Chinese architecture represented by the Forbidden City and nature's bounty found within lemons and oranges creates a visually striking spectacle. As viewers gaze upon this awe-inspiring scene, they are reminded that creativity knows no bounds. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art.
