Dusk on the playa between center camp and where “The Man” used to be. Playa dust kicked up from participants forms a cloud on the horizon as art installations are being set up.
Las Vegas Sun journalists Tiffany Brown, J. Patrick Coolican, Kristen Peterson and Zach Wise report from the 22nd annual festival. Burning Man has grown from a small event on a San Francisco beach into an eight-day celebration of life on The Playa, an ancient dry lake bed in northern Nevada. About 40,000 people are take the nomadic journey to the site in the Black Rock Desert, including some 50 to 250 "burners" from Las Vegas.

How facinating this festival is to me. I remember woodstock, yes I am that old. Loved the whole scene.
