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.
