Tomato-throwing fun in the sun (+photos)

SPAIN - Tens of thousands of people take part in Spain's annual tomato fight "La Tomatina," leaving rivers of tomato sauce along the streets of the town of Bunol.

Municipal trucks dumped about 110 tons of ripe, juicy plum tomatoes at the feet of adrenaline-charged crowds in the town's main street.

Within minutes the area was covered in red slime, and clouds of tomato sauce filled the air.

40,000 people took part in this year's Tomatina, held annually on the last Wednesday in August.
