Saturday night was the night of the Burn, and the Opera, due to weather.
We were late for the burn, which started early by accident again,
but we showed off the el-wire Man suit and I shot many other folks as
well. Should have brought a tripod, though. Shot on Fuji Press 800.

During the Opera, the Lingham was pulled to the Yoni and set on fire. As always, Pepe's fire sculptures are great. And at least the sexual images were not too subtle for the crowd.

This guy had a string of LEDs on a rope that as he spun it, would scan out images onto your eyelid, or onto the camera in a time exposure.

I didn't photograph the Burn itself as we were preparing the "Man" suit, but here's a shot of the Ziggarat as it burns after the man has fallen.
