Out of all the art-installations on the playa, the Temple is the most captivating. You see, it’s not only a work of art, but also a sacred place.

Burning Man 2015. Part 6 – Burners
Everything is great about Burning Man: location, organization, art, music and even dust. But the best that it has are the participants, burners, the residents of the wonderful and unique Black Rock City. It’s its people – the most valuable resource of the event.
Burning Man 2015. Part 5 – Dust and Man
Not once we asked ourselves: where else would it be possible to organize Burning Man, where it would just as interesting, but not as extremely dry, hot and windy? On a long and wide Hawaiian beach Waimanalo by the edge of the blue ocean? Or somewhere in the mountains of the Olympic National Park in Washington around the dark limpid lake? Or, maybe, the ideal place would be the most beautiful California Redwood Forest with its moss-grown gigantic sequoias and foaming rivers? Maybe.
But you see, all those picturesque, magnificent places lose to Nevada desert in one major point: there is no dust.
Burning Man 2015. Part 4 – City set up
In our last visits to this wonderful city, I somehow never thought to find out even the basics of how it appears in the desert, where it disappears to afterwards, and how much it all costs. And who has to pay for it.
Burning Man 2015. Part 3 – Art and Mutants
Art, in any manifestation, is a major part of the festival. Art installations and mutants are a hallmark of Burning Man.
Burning Man 2015. Part 2 – One Day in the Black Rock City
Today we are going for a casual stroll through the city of burners.
Every burner experiences and lives a week in the Black Rock City differently. Moreover, he or she experiences this week differently every other time they come to Burning Man. On our first visit to Burning Man in 2009 we were more like stunned tourists than the full-fledged participants. In 2010’s Burn we almost entirely submerged and integrated with the idea, atmosphere and people. As for this year, we knew from the very beginning, that we are going as observers, or even explorers, if you may, and that Burning Man 2015 was to become a part of our Tour US rather than its own event.
Burning Man 2015. Part 1 – Getting there
Due to numerous (four) requests, we have decided to tell about Black Rock City first, and catch up with the posts on the last stretch of Part 2 of our Tour US afterwards.
Burning Man 2015
After a much needed layover at Burning Man 2015, we are back on the road for the final part of our road trip. Last week some of our Burning Man photos were featured at Fathom Instagram blog and we are happy to post them here. These are just a few of what we captured at the event. We will publish more at the earliest convenience. If you are one of the people whose photo we took and you don’t see it here, but would like to have it, please send us a link to your FB account, so we can easily identify you and send you your photo.
