September 4, 2007: Tomatina 2007
![]() It's that time of year again - time for the annual Tomatina tomato battle in Bunol, Spain. ![]() As a reminder - in case you're new to IotD or something - this festival involves tens of thousands of people battling it out with hundreds of thousands of tomatoes. ![]() Pictures of the battle are interesting enough... ![]() ...it's the aftermath shots which are the most fun. ![]() The people are always completely exhausted. ![]() And drowning in tomato soup. IotD's previous Tomatinos: 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 |

I like in the 5th picture how there is a slipper covered (and probably filled) with tomato, just kinda chillin' there.
