This is from the week long Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, a week long event of total insanity.

on edit--

This is from last year (i think), that thing is about 5 stories tall...




2nd edit:

If you dont know what this is, google 'burning man' and click on 'images' in far top left...

then it'll take about three seconds to get it.

There were high winds earlier, I think they are checking for safety.

Should be coming up soon, it looks clear now.

Trying Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X... I hear the audio commentary... but just black for video.

:-(

I'm Firefox and its really cool looking

I can't see it on my iPhone USTREAM app either... just audio but blackness for video.

Enjoy!!

If you are using a browser thats a likely cause.

They are small updates, take a minute or less to download and you dont have to re-boot to install.

The issue must be with my ISP or my wireless router... because both my Mac and iPhone are not getting USTREAM video.

Thanks for your help, anyways... Enjoy the show and I'll close my eyes and feel the good vibes... ;-)

At least I can watch it now.

Having the time of his life.

gulp!.....And he's missing his first week of his last semester of school. Bless his heart. My daughter wants to go next year. Interesting for someone who is a bit like Reece Witherspoon. But like Reece, she'll be fine. :evilgrin:

Where is my arms crossed, toe tapping smiley when I need it? :)

Hey Zomby, it's too late for coffee...got milk?

:D

*Hopes this ends the toe-tapping and arms crossing*

And he had a great time. :applause:

The toe tapping stops when he starts his senior seminar class. ;)

I thought you were doing that because I kept you waiting for the milk, LOL. :D

I wonder how many Pagans are there?

He has been burning for an hour now and is still standing.

Burn the Man !!!

What is that? 70 feet tall?

BURN the Man!!

:shrug:

Having only been as far west as CO, I've only heard stories of the Burning Man. Glad to get to see it live.

It took forever, but it sure was cathartic to watch.

About 60-70,000 people will march from downtown to the little park north of town. They will set off the fireworks once it gets dusky dark. Zozobra, who is several stories high, will start moving his arms and moaning as the flame rip up his wooden body. His eyes glow in the dark as his moans become louder and louder. Finally, the crowd cheers.

Everyone then marches back down to the square in Santa Fe and the smell of Mexican food surrounds the entire plaza as locals set up their special food stands. The mariachi bands play at the north end of the plaza and the people dance in the streets to the festivities. It used to be on Labor Day but they changed it because on one certain Labor Day, with the tequila flowing freeing, it got a little bit out of hand. :-)
