Sinking into the Future-Desert - a photo on Flickriver

Here is one of my favorite new photos from Burning Man. I took a photo of this full statue last year, and it was one of my favorites. This year, only the torso remained, and it looked like it sank into the desert a bit. People climbed all over it, day and night.

Who would have thought that thousands of artists can come together in the desert every summer to unleash their creations on the world? This is yet another reason to sleep during the hot day… so you can go out and spend most of the night walking around and explore these sorts of beauties.
