Pictures From Burning Man

Click here to see some amazing photography from the site of the Burning Man Festival, or gathering, or whatever these modern day hippies call it... Some crazy stuff happening out there in the desert it seems! I am fascinated by the creative outpouring of energy some people put into this event. You'd have to be so committed to build some of these objects and installations. And how much sense does it make to just go out there and burn them afterwards! Don't really know much about the festival aside from the fact that it began when I guy built an effigy of his ex-girlfriend on the beach in California somewhere and then burned it. Uh, yeah. I think it just grew from there into this strangely modern pagan burning ritual, a cleansing type of thing, as flakey as that may be. Who knows when it moved to the desert. Check out the "shark bus." Weird.
