Playa

Burning Man 2014 by Richard

Near the end of summer every year, about 100 miles north of Reno in the Nevada desert, tens of thousands of people gather for the Burning Man festival, an oasis for the most eclectic group of people on the planet. Burning Man started with a bonfire at San Francisco’s Baker Beach in 1986. This year, the tickets to the playa was sold out in less than 45 minutes and we were at least 100'000 participant including the Burning Man staff.

The first day of Burning Man was canceled due to poor weather this year, and we all waited in line, in front of the gates for 24 hrs. Regardless, the party started there between cars and RVs!

BRC is closed until midday Tuesday due to rain and standing water. Playa is un-drivable. Law enforcement is turning cars back.

The Burning Man art and its participant pushes the limits of human creativity to test the unauthorized and permitted limits, here are some pictures from this year.
