Scenes & Critical Tits

These are shots of various interesting scenes around the city, plus 5 shots of the ever-growing Friday Critical Tits ride, where around 600 women gather together, with safety in numbers, to celebrate their freedom in Black Rock City to be topless. And sure, lots of guys come to watch (after all, even though in BRC you become used to unclothed women, you never tire of it!) but the women and girls all have a great time, lose some inhibitions and enjoy the sun.

Note: If you're in here and identifiable and you don't want to be, let me know (bt@templetons.com) and I'll see if I can find an alternate shot or blur you out. I wasn't able to get permission from everybody in crowd shots, of course.
