Burning man

Photos by Larry Turner

Nevada's Black Rock Desert is host to the Burning Man Event every week leading up to and during Labor Day Weekend. It is a celebration of free speech, free art, free expression. It is a celebration of life and the moment. It is unlike any event you'll ever attend. A self-made city is constructed and taken down within three weeks, host to and constructed by 48,000 people from around the world. It is called Black Rock City. It is an expression, an entertainment, and participation event. Held on the largest flat area on the planet--surrounded by desert mountain ranges--, it is a bleak, lonely and beautiful desert playa, fragile just like the Burning Man participants. Following is a photo essay. Why speak or write sometimes when photos are more articulate. Information on the Burning Man can be accessed at: www.burningman.com.
