After an 18-hour car journey, which involved scenic views, sleep deprivation and getting lost twice, we arrived on the playa. Before entering Burning Man we waited for about 5 hours in this seemingly endless entrance line. Our arduous journey made us feel like we earned the wonders that were in store for us.
One of the hundreds of 'mutant vehicles' or 'art cars'. This one looks to be an angler fish.
Chelsea stares down this life-size dinosaur.
Frank and Kai checking out a rat themed art car.
'The Man'. The effigy which will be burned at the end of the event.
Playin' on the playa.
A 'fish tank', haha.
'The temple'.
When you touched the metal parts of this art piece, each would make a different sound.
The bat mobile!
The ravetastic rainbow rabbit.
Towards the end of the event more and more art installations were burnt, in keeping with the theme of 'Burning Man'.
These huge mushrooms were made of metal and so could spew flames for hours.
Saturday night, the burning of the Man!
There was so much amazing artwork.
These was made entirely out of glass.
These pieces are a great example of how modern technology is changing the art world. These are made by a 3D printer, which deposits sandstone into the shape dictated by the computer code.
This was made using a laser cutter, into which the desired shape is programmed.
Sunday night, the final night of the burn, when they burn 'the temple' and everyone bids farewell to this crazy desert wonderland.
After waiting 8 hours in the immense exodus line, we left burning man and were sent on our way home with a spectacular sunset over the long road ahead.
