Camps

Another mind-blowingly impressive thing is the camps. Thousands come and build marvelous and elaborate camps. Some only bring enough to give them a place to live, but many build a showpiece, with art or interesting temporary architecture. I only shot just a tiny few.

Our camp was Oregon Country Fair Embassy, which builds an interesting connected network of silver domes in which to live.

This tunnel of lights was meant to be viewed with distorting glasses they gave you as you passed through. Quite interesting

The "topless Canadians" sing "Oh Canada" on the Alien Love Nest stage. In theory Howard Stern, or a lookalike, is judging them.

The Emerald City, in daylight. I didn't get over to it (far south end, no bikes) during the night with a camera. It was quite spectacular as those tubes are actually translucent with green neon within. The builder spent $100,000 to put this camp together. Performances ranged on the stages all night.
