Random Encounters on the Playa

One week has past and I'm still nostalgic for Burning Man. Here's the final installment of more of my favorite photos from Black Rock City 2005. (You can find the full gallery at http://photos.weschan.com.)


Words of wisdom tacked onto the wall at the Shinto Temple.


Romer & Brooks whacking each other with foam bats in the Thunderdome (don't ask).


My friend Dan on the playa, ringing the Virgin bell signifying that it's his first Burning Man ever.


Jeremy Mungle (L) making a phone call (on a satellite phone) while Roxana Smith makes sno-cones for everyone at the "It's Your Birthday" theme camp.


Friends of mine having a bit too much fun on a random trampoline. (There are tons of trampolines everywhere in Black Rock City.)


James Abele juggling during a dance party at the House of Lotus camp.


In what was probably the most bizzare spectacle ever, GI-JOE figurines march hundreds of plastic barbies into an oven at the Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro art display.


Adam admiring Alton Parker's art installation in the middle of the playa.


Ring charms spin in the desert wind.


A rememberence for a passed-away loved one at the Shinto Temple.


One of the coolest costumes ever!
