La Tomatina Photos

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

I finally got my camera developed from the Tomatina, so here’s the photographic evidence. Some of these aren’t the greatest pictures, but it was certainly adverse conditions. Pretty much any time you raised a camera to take a photo, people would try to hit the camera with tomatoes. It was pretty awesome.

Officially, the festival isn’t supposed to start until somebody climbs a greased pole and retrieves a ham hock. But, as you can see in the last photo, by the time the tomato fight ended, the ham was still securely on the pole. Later, a group of guys knocked the whole pole over to get the ham.
