A man is covered with talcum powder during "El Dia de los Polvos" (Powder Day) in the southern Spanish village of Tolox February 20, 2007. During Powder Day it's traditional, especially for young people, to hurl talcum powder at each other until they are completely covered with it. In the past the young men used this game to seduce the girls. These days courtship has changed, but the tradition of throwing powder on one another without distinction as to sex or origin continues.[Reuters]
