208 Epic Photos From Burning Man 2017 That Prove It’s The Craziest Festival In The World

This deserves waaay more upvotes

I saw something like this at the art museum in Cincinnati. The artist used laser cut steel to form intricate shadows

Websites always show the most amazing pieces of art at Burning Man, but they fail to showcase some of the horrible treatment from alumnus burners upon people who are new on the Playa. Unfortunately over the years this Festival has evolved into a nesting center of utter wannabe nouveau riche hippie douchebags. They use the idea of togetherness, art and freedom in order to blast their brains out on drugs and try to score free cigarettes and unconsented sex. I have no doubt that people are still there for the right reasons, to support love, experience, and enlightenment, but the water supply has officially been tainted and it gets more acrid every year.

The way she's articulated and has cables at her knees and wrists, it looks like she can dance. I'd love to see that!

Fawkes?

I live in Fernley they may take it out of the desert, (which is debatable, drive 15 miles away and see the dump sites) but the garbage they leave in dumpsters they overfill, on the side of the road, and worst of all down our streets is sickening!! And if you live out here you see the destruction and lack of disregard to our parks when bags and bags of garbage, sleeping pads and bags are strewn for us the residents to clean up after!

The creativity is insane!

reminds me of 'Home' The movie

Beautiful!

I need to be driving this on the Beltway.

This is similar to what I start to get in my vision at the beginning of a migraine

The impressive part is what's in the background! At night, the whole thing spins like a ferris wheel and theres a strobe that gives an illusion of a skeleton rowing the boat....oh, did i mentioned that the movement is powered by 3 ropes on either side that must be pulled in a concerted effort by onlookers on either side?

I imagine this to b very true lol

That's my old Bus!! Still radiating from all the orange sunshine we took in it!!

I need this for my garden :)

Pretty creative & amazing !

We’re all captives of something

And the road warrior. That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives no only in my memories.

WHAAAAAAALE <3 <3 <3

Shadows and light. My fave!

stunning

The Trojan Unicorn!

Imagine the work that went into this!

Magical medusa

Sandnado

Wish it wasn't a selfie - I can see her arms in the reflection in the glasses

Those ropes you see hanging is what powers this beast. The wheel starts turning and a strobe flashes at night, which then creates an illusion of skeletons in place rowing the boat!

It looks a little like Angkor Wat

There are no pants at Burning Man.

🙌

maybe just after the meal ;)

LAND SHARK

is that a Sand storm?

The sky, the panorama, the dust. Feel like I'm there.

I like whimsical !

Super cool! Very "5th Element"

i'm not even gonna lie seeing that in the dark would scare the c**p out of me

Ready for lift off 3...2...

This looks like captain Jack Sparrow meets mad Max.

A MAN! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shell on wheels 🐚+🚘

Help! I'm desperate for attention!!

Damn, I already used a Road Warrior quote on a different picture.

Behold the burning man.

They'll be edited out of the final take.

I just keep wondering if her feet don't burn inside of all that fur xDD

E.T. go home! You've had too much to drink!

So beautifully steam punk.

Victory is in the eye of the beholder...

Oh, I saw this one earlier. But it was in daylight. It Looks Even More Beautiful All Lit Up!!

There's something so serene about this photo... Makes me feel at ease.

I read this was made entirely of pennies.. craziness

Just a Spaceman chillin by the sunset.

When you go to Burning Man just for the instagram post

Just chillin 😎

That's how she rolls 😎

I look at the fishnets and think; "but how do you apply sunscreen through that?"

Those are Tibetan verses written across the face.

Wow... an arctic man in a desert... what irony and such a strange contradiction...

I'd like to know who the artist was for this piece.

Aw, what a cute little stud muffin.

Just a little more to the left....

Gorgeous souls! <3

Hell yeah, go Utah! My amazing friends built this.
