Going Native at Tenerife Carnaval 'Photo of the Day' #4

When a giant sardine with long blond hair and fluttering false eyelashes starts bearing down on you it means one of two things - it's time to give up the alcohol, or it's the surreal Burial of the Sardine which is a major part of Carnaval across Tenerife.

The sardine is one of the less surreal aspects of the event, but good taste convinced me to go with this photo and not one of the merry 'widows'.
