Noche de Rabanos

You might well be wondering why on earth I have put up a picture of a load of radishes. Tonight in Oaxaca in Mexica it is the Night of the Radishes. People will carve oversized radishes into all sorts of forms and compete to be voted the best. Usually it attracts about 100 entrants and many more visitors. Radishes are not long lived so the whole thing is over within a matter of hours.
