There's a good reason Burning Man is aptly named. It's *not* a poster event for the lowest carbon footprint. Yes - the Man certainly gets burnt to the ground as part of the cerimonies, but then again so do many other things as well. In fact, just about everything that burns gets burned - acetylene, gasoline, propane, wood, fireworks, etc.
Burning Art Cars
Many of these cars spew flames and explosions, especially at night. Here's some particularly good ones:
The Steam Punk Octopus in action:
Trojan Horse Burn
The larger burns generally follow along in several stages:
 |
| Fire Dancers |
|
 |
| Fireworks |
|
 |
| Followed by explosions |
|
 |
| which ignite the structure |
|
 |
| until it's entirely engulfed in flames. |
|
The crowds love it... and shout for more.
|
 |
| Transfixed audience |
|
The Man Burn
Of course, the main event is the burning of the Man itself.
 |
| Pre-burn fire dancers |
 |
| Spectacular fireworks show |
 |
| The Man ignites |
 |
| and burns. |
 |
| That's it folks - time to pack up and go home. |
Leaving the next morning...
