PHOTOS: Burning Man 2013

Deep thanks to Scott R. Kline for the use of his great photos here. See more of his work at ScottRKlinePhoto.com. Click here for info on Burning Man or here for visiting Nevada.

 

The Temple of Wholyness at Burning Man 2013. People meditate, pray and make memorials to those they have lost. It is the most spiritual place at Burning Man.

The Burning Man theme this year was Cargo Cult and dealt with colonization and commercialism. The Man stood on a flying saucer, representing the thinking by some in cargo cults that other people are aliens.

The Church Trap was a very popular exhibit. There was an organ inside that people could play.

On the deep Playa was the Dust City DIner which served grilled cheese sandwiches and Bourbon. Like everything else at the Burn, the food and drinks are free; a gift from the participants.

Every night the art car sound camps parked around Beauty and the party
went all night.

'BELIEVE' was the latest in a series of one word messages which appear every year.

The Discofish at Burning Man 2013. Art cars like this cruise the Playa every night making an informal transportation system complete with music and light.
