A reveller walks across a puddle of cleaning water on the fifth day of the San Fermin
A reveller walks across a puddle of cleaning water on the fifth day of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona July 10, 2011. Visitors to the nine day festival, depicted in Ernest Hemingways 1926 novel " The Sun Also Rises", take part in activities including The Running Of The Bulls, an early morning half mile dash from the corral to the bullring alongside six bulls destined to die in the afternoons corrida. This is followed by processions of giant traditional figures, concerts, firebulls, fireworks, and large doses of eating, drinking, dancing and late nights.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the fifth day of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona on July 10,2011, a reveller fearlessly strides across a puddle of cleaning water. This iconic event, immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's renowned novel "The Sun Also Rises" draws visitors from all corners of the globe to partake in its exhilarating activities. At the crack of dawn, participants engage in The Running Of The Bulls - an adrenaline-fueled half-mile sprint alongside six majestic bulls destined for their fateful afternoon fate. As the sun rises higher in the sky, giant traditional figures parade through the streets while concerts fill the air with vibrant melodies. But it is not just about bull runs and processions; this festival offers so much more. Firebulls illuminate the night sky as fireworks dazzle spectators with their explosive beauty. Amidst all these festivities lies an abundance of eating, drinking, dancing and late nights that truly embody Spanish culture at its finest. Eloy Alonso's expertly captured image encapsulates both bravery and revelry within a single frame. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for adventure and celebration – where individuals willingly navigate obstacles such as puddles without hesitation or fear. This photograph reminds us that life should be embraced wholeheartedly; we must seize every opportunity to immerse ourselves in unique experiences that bring joy and excitement into our lives.
