Another successful Burning Man!! The man is dead, long live the man...
Black Rock City is getting bigger every year. Word has it the population
topped 30,000 this year. It was great, but I can't really explain it,
you've just got to go yourself. I did manage to take a few photos, not as
many as I would've liked, but dust and circumstances limited my
opportunities.
Cheers,
Jeff
