Everything is Burning, Man! Massive wooden art installations and buildings at festival in the middle of the desert go up in flames as party heads into its last days
The
thousands of people who camped out in the middle of the Nevada desert
for the annual Burning Man festival have started to bring the wild week
to a close by setting fire to the huge wooden sculptures and
installations created for the event.
Amazing
photographs show some of the incredible artwork, including the pyramids
called the Catacomb of Veils, being engulfed in flames. Huge plumes of thick, black smoke rose into the sky once the fires were set on Friday afternoon.
Pictures
taken later in the night showed some of the 70,000 party-goers stood
around smaller exhibits as they burned to the ground, while some brave
attendees appeared ride bikes around the edge of the flames.
One couple seemed unable to keep their cool amid the rapidly rising temperature, leaning in for a kiss in front of the flames. Others
were seen throughout the day on Friday making the most of the time left
for this year's party, climbing through and dancing inside the
installations yet to be torched.
More
than 70,000 have made the voyage to Black Rock City in the middle of
the Nevada desert for the mind-bending festival, which runs from August
28 to September 5 this year.
