OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
She stood in the light while in shadow.  The path led endlessly into the fog and she saw it for what it was.  The path was just one, and she had already chosen.  In the distance, it fell away into a blue haze.  Every few steps would reveal something impossible and unforeseen.  What would appear next was beyond reason and what would appear underfoot would be enough to make any mortal’s heart shudder.  She had a hundred paths within her, even though she only stood on one.
Thunderdome - Blood on the Sand
I was only partially injured while getting this photo from the wild sands of Burning Man.

A group tenderly called the "Death Guild" erected a Thunderdome in the desert city here at Burning Man. I was riding home on my customized Mad Max bike (thx for making it for me +Cliff Baise !), and I saw hundreds converging on the Thunderdome for a massive fight. Screaming hordes started climbing the super-structure to get a closer look. By the time I arrived, the observers were 10 deep on all sides, everyone crushing in to get a view of the big fight ...

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!

One of the many wild custom land vehicles heads out to tour the playa as the sun sets.  As soon as the sun starts to go down, everything comes alive in a fanciful way.

This was my favorite land vehicle.  I wanted to ride around in it for a while, but I was too busy following it with my camera.

On the final night of the temple burn, a huge sandstorm blew across the desert, blinding all of us out in a dreamy haze.

There is a central area in the middle of the camp where people come to do yoga, get coffee, perform magic, or do other carnie-like activities.  Some people just go and watch, like this gal here.

Biking Across the Playa
I think I need a bike this year at Burning Man!  And, I need an awesome bike... with all kinds of lights and perhaps some speakers where I can plug in my iPod.  The only problem is that I am not handy.  I have only a few skills, and none of them seem to include all the things that everyone at Burning Man can build except me.  Wherever I go, I'm surrounded by all kinds of nice hand-made art exhibitions...  fanciful and crazy stuff is everywhere.  Sure, I'm handy with a stylus and a Wacom tablet, but that doesn't do me much good in the desert.

So, if you come out to the playa and have an extra amazing bike sitting around, let me know.  I'll bring you some Belgian gourmet chocolate for the trade.
