Burning Man 2013 Black Rock City, NV

Barbara and I survived burning man and our now in Zion National Park. We had a lovely time enjoying the unique self expression and art of the festival. When we look back at our photos it seems so surreal that we can hardly believe we were really there and that it was not a dream. Our camp from Denver, Brulee, was full of wonderful diversified beautiful people who came together to make our camp a great success. We came away fulfilled knowing that we had such a great experience meeting and seeing so many unique burners all having the common same experience.  The following images depict the uniqueness and free flow form of self expression of this festival on the desert floor of the Black Rock Desert just north of Reno, NV.  The festival is always held every year during the last week of August and attracts thousands of people from all over the world
