One year ago I was able to take this video of Valencia's orange harvesting machine in action. But silly me filmed it in super low resolution:

So I was eager to find that machine again this year. They start with the orange harvest at the beginning of January and there are hundreds of these tree spread through out the city. I wasn't very lucky and only saw where they already have been but then came the text message from Mike: Hurry they're at Calle Colon right now.
I jumped up right away and ran out to find them. I'm still not too happy with the footage because due to the narrow layout of the plaza, I wasn't able to film how the machine normally spreads out it's "net" to catch the oranges falling down. For that, I guess, I have to wait until next year.
