A fire-dancer swinging flames. Wild swinging flames. The man, outlined in neon, minutes before his explosive demise. Twirling fire art? Mesmerizing, pure swirls of brillant fire. The fireworks ignite the man! It's like 4th of July in the middle of the dessert! The man is devoured in flames. People dance and scream and cry and laugh as the man burns and burns. It takes about 7 minutes for the man to fall to the gound. The masses surround the flames and a jellyfish balloon takes flight. Jellyfish balloons floating off into the abyss of night. People celebrating "the burn". Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Jean and Dustin are up early the next morning and capture this jellyfish at sunrise. The "Temple of Joy" which was burned to the ground the day after the man was burned. The mermaid at sunrise. Look at all those people! Now that's what I call a good shade structure! Burningman is full of "happy campers." As far as the eye can see...29,000 people camping together in the middle of nowhere. She may be wearing a disguise, but we all know it's Anne. A caped man and a pirate ship, two everyday sightings in the middle of the desert. After a week in the desert, people chase after the water truck that drives by everyday. One more fire-dancer, just because they are so cool.
