Burning Man on Fire!
Fire Sculptures are perhaps one of the coolest nighttime things that you'll find on the playa at Burning Man. Here are some of my favorite fire sculptures from this year.
Random gathering around fire-spitting horns.
Black Rock Hoedown around the fire-spitting horns. The Space Cowboys unimog showed up at the horns and for the entire night, pumped out dance tunes as several hundred people partied around some awesome fireballs.
The fire pendulum: flames from 4 jets would propel this pendulum to spin around as hundreds of people stared in awe.
The fire pendulum in action.
Green flames from the chimney of a fire sculpture.
Fire spitting out an art installation on the playa.
Not quite a fire sculpture but equally as cool: the charred remains of the man during the ritual burning on Saturday night.

the "fire spitting horns" were actually wingtips of a phoenix, the fire bird of renewal. There was a bird head firepit and a body of lumber...

The "fire horns" were actually the "talons" of the "Angel of the Apocalypse" by The Flaming Lotus Girls (based in Hunters Point, San Francisco). The Angel of the Apocalypse was as James said, a giant Phoenix coming out of the ground. Don't know if you saw it, but the Flaming Lotus girls were occasionally letting people participate in the fire by allowing them to control the fireballs. One of the better fire art installations of 2005, IMHO.
