Tens of thousands have gathered for the deranged nine-day festival of excess, which is unique among others in frowning at any hint of commercialism.
Incredible photos show attendees donning outrageous Mad Max-style outfits, or even forgoing clothes at all, under the relentless sun.
Some are seen traveling around the temporary city in post-apocalyptic "art cars" and bicycles.
And the ritualistic burning of a giant human-shaped effigy is seen sending smoke and flames billowing into the empty skyline.

That was artistic expression man!
Actually, the guy was disturbed, poor soul.
"...but you'll never be free."
Yeh Scrooge all that crapola. The backyard looks better all the time. Grill or cook up some new recipes, swim in the pool and relax. Wayward humanity gathering for some event to degrade the inner soul interests me nada. Praise the Lord and screw the devilish idiots.
$800 for the regular tickets. I don’t know if its a coincidence but there seem to be a lot less az$holes in my Nor Cal community during the event.
You know they have their own private elitist area to chill.
Why not take McCain to “Burning Man”? It would be the perfect sendoff.
And an airstrip for those who shun ground transportation.
People think I have a cynical attitude regarding Burning Man. Their right!
Yep I’ve heard that sex goes on at burning man. Among people who just met, don’t know their names or anything about their partner in the activity. This is their idea of fun?
I’ve heard more liberal types tend to go there. Do any if them care about the carbon footprint of burning man?
Maybe I’m being presumptuous, but do people at burning man trash the place, or do they clean up their garbage?
Eventually a few pillars of salt...
From what I’ve heard, they are very limited numbers available at that price. With 70,000 inhabitants on the playa for up to 10 days, good times. Not sure which day the dust storm is scheduled.
” No, no, no. Anti establishment “BURNING THE MAN” is the culmination. No, they DON’T get it.”

Sorry;, beg to differ, but they DO get it.
They want any and all who oppose their agenda to suffer burning to death.
“You know they have their own private elitist area to chill.”
Did not know, but not a bit surprised. We couldn’t expect them to chill alongside the proletariat scum, could we?
“truly amazing to poke around the area with google satellite views:”
Looked at a bunch of the pix. Saw one Prius and hundreds of full size pickups, SUV’s and RV’s. When their revolution is complete, I wonder if they will arrive in solar powered mass transit POD’s, or will they exempt themselves from the planet saving, collective based dictums and continue spewing carbon and burning non-renewable resources without remorse?
Went to Burning Man early on. It has changed a bit. When I went it was truly counter culture. No tickets, no narks, no rules. Now it seems to be just little more than a Good Sam Jamboree. You can do your own thing for a mere $190 to $1,200 per ticket and you follow all the rules. Bah!!
