Burning Man is also a week-long costume party. In fact, if you are NOT in a costume, then you are the odd one out. We had a little PhotoWalk while I was there, and these characters came galloping through the middle of it.
The playa is filled with one performance after another. Groups and troupes work on special performances, costumes, and other routines that they perform at their camps and out in the middle of the desert. This girl was in the middle of a rehearsal when I found her.
In the central gathering area, I found all sorts. I mean all sorts. I felt woefully regular, but I did have my steampunk stuff on, so I liked paying attention to other steampunk stuff, like this guy. We just kinda stared at each other for a while. It was kinda weird, but kinda cool.
I was taking photos of this heiro-jeweled skull, and then an Indian gal in a yellow dress came up and started dancing all over it. I have photos of that too, but I ended up liking the skull alone, best. Bejeweled skulls don't need Indian dancers to make them more awesome!
The metal dragon-car was my favorite of the vehicles. It wasn't the biggest, but the fully movable and fire-breathing head was incredible.

Daily Photo(s) - Burning Man Alive I've been releasing these photos in little batches. I don't usually add captions to photos, but I have been doing in these cases. Enjoy! On the final night of the temple burn, a huge sandstorm blew across the desert, blinding all of us out in a dreamy haze. - Trey Ratcliff See the whole set here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Temple at Sunset Burning Man is the only place I can go and: a) Not have any idea what I am going to see and b) just know it is going to be awesome.So, that’s kind of a unique situation, I think. For example, if I go to London, England, I know I’m going to see the Tower Bridge and it’s going to be incredible. But how often do you go in completely blind to a place, and just know you’re going to be amazed?This is the main temple that lies on the 12 o’clock axis from the burning man himself. Every year it is different. It’s always non-denominational, but it has hints of all the major religions… So, that way, the 1 billion+ Buddhists are happy, the 1 billion+ Hindus are happy, the 1 billion+ Muslims are happy, and the 500 mil+ Christians are happy, and so are the other 2 billion various belief-systems floating around out there. I don’t know how you can make a temple for everyone, but, well, here it is… and everyone seems to like it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
