BURNING MAN. will take a while to load.

some burning man photos. first, one must have the proper transportation. some options...

these folks came from Holland, I think. really.

my friends opted for motorized bunny slippers.

beware of fish bicycles (there were several). this one is really a wet bar.

and for the lazy, a tourbus... "Floating World Tours." There was also a huge whale watching boat (as there were, of course, many whales)

this van, complete with trailor behind and blue cooler full of beer sticking out on the back, will soon become...

a nasty, fire-breathing dragon...

even tumbleweeds have to get around...

remember connect four? I loved that game.

the lilly pond. each lilly is a computer board that can sense the others.

the pond at night, with lights from other burning man projects in the distance.

  all lit up

the seahorses...

the temple of joy, made from 1000s of dinosaur part cutout leftovers.

people's notes of joy and gratitude

this was a rabbit year, as i'd mentioned. apparently it was hunting season, as this one's out cold...

burning man regulars coming away from temple.

the temple lights up, and the laser is from the Man, which burns on the last night. it's massive now. several stories high.

  nothing is forever!

an early Burning Man...
