On our way west, toward our WWDTD (What Would Duct Tape Do) theme camp, we spotted this great use of duct tape outside an excellent coffee shop (Nobrow) in Salt Lake City.

14550.JPG
Always have to stop at Bonneville Salt Flats.

14560.JPG
We had early entry passes so we got to the salt flats mid-week and were able to go out and explore. We usually arrive here on a Sunday and it's often closed to the public due to speed runs.

14570.JPG
Love this place.

14590.JPG
And it's a great backdrop for some fun photos.

14620.JPG
Love it!

The victims of a cross-country killing spree.

We're home!

14665.JPG
The sign is so beautiful this year.

14690.JPG
Through the gate just before sundown.

14730.JPG
The skeleton of what will become the Trojan Horse. It was our main landmark... until they dragged its 28 tons - by hand - out to the playa and burned it (see the video later).

14740.JPG
Ever wonder what the inner ear looks like? Check out "Tympani Lambada" by The Flaming Lotus Girls.

14750.JPG
Still under construction.

14780.JPG
"Ouroborous" by the Flipside/Pyropolis CORE Project.

14810.JPG
There he is.

14830.JPG
"Ouroborous" is one of 28 regional effigies surrounding the man. They will burn on Thursday.

14850.JPG
A look of wonder.

14870.JPG
For the first time, and fitting for this year's Rites of Passage theme, the man is stepping across a chasm.

14880.JPG
The Temple of Transition being built.

14890.JPG
In the foreground is one of the walkways that, when placed, will lead to the upper level.

After being underwater most of the year, the playa surface is the best it's been in a long time.

14930.jpg
Setting up camp days before the masses arrive.

14950.JPG
What a privilege to experience the unpopulated city.

14960.JPG
Still building.

14970.JPG
From certain angles the man had a distinctly feminine look.

14980.JPG
Sittin' on the pier...

15000.JPG
Yes, that's a 400 foot long pier with barnacles on the posts. Boat-themed art cars would dock here and people would fish (for hippies).

15020.JPG
The rules.

15025.jpg
The spaceport, functioning, but still under construction.

15030.jpg
The fleet of public bikes.

15035.jpg
Lots and lots of bikes that are free for anybody to use. They're called Yellow Bikes.

15040.JPG
But they're green!

Welcome to Black Rock City

15090.JPG
Indeed.

It's so big! The central tower is 120 feet high.

We helped out with The Gamelatron Temple project and got these snazzy red jumpsuits!

Some moments are so precious.

One big bold step toward . . .

15350.jpg
The Temple.

15360.jpg
The first time the Temple has had an integrated and orchestrated sound, The Gamelatron.

15370.JPG
We did some documentation of the Gamelatron for our friend Taylor Kuffner, so there are quite a few pictures from the Temple.

Greg gets a tutu.... randomly met him on the street, but remember him, he'll be back.

16120.JPG
Our neighbor gets a tutu! His whole group all had them except for him, so I helped him out. If you couldn't tell, it's Tutu Tuesday.

16125.jpg
Charon by Peter Hudson, one of my favorite playa artists. This took 6 people working in unison pulling ropes to turn the wheel. When it reached a specific speed, it would strobe, bringing it to life.

We laughed...

...and we cried. Thanks, Hoodie.

Wrapped up...

16450.JPG

16460.JPG
And with a wedding like this, would you expect anything less than the Heart Deco bus as transportation?

16530.JPG
This just says it all.

16535.jpg
From a sunset wedding to a sunrise wedding.

16540.JPG
Remember Greg, who got a tutu? This is his wedding to Rachel - they're just to the left of the fire spinner.

16560.JPG
Here comes the sun little darling...

16590.JPG
The Temple, being so tall, gets the first (and last) sun of each day on the playa.

16600.JPG
Thursday morning a procession of thousands, mostly dressed in white, go out to the Temple to greet the sun.

16610.JPG


16620.JPG
Ceremonies abound.

16621.jpg
This is Spin Cycle camp's annual hoop jam.

16622.jpg


16623.jpg
As much as Burning Man is a Mecca to me, within Burning Man, the Spin Cycle hoop jam is it's own Mecca.

16624.jpg
The best hoopers in the world come together here and throw down.

16625.jpg


16626.jpg
The energy is surreal.

16627.jpg

I imagine this disrupting the spin of the planet and the orbits of the universe.

16634.jpg


16640.jpg
A three(hundred) ring circus!

16641.jpg
This one is funny for those in the know. I somehow managed to capture two of the most badass hoopers looking like they both just stepped off the short bus.

16642.jpg

16650.JPG
More Tympani Lambada.

16660.JPG
Their pieces always include triggers that allow anybody to control the flames.

16670.jpg
The playa looks ripe for exploration.

I find a unicorn.

I made tutus as gifts, and as we camped for the night in Nebraska,
we encountered our first burners, Nelly and Cassandra, on their way from Canada!

IMG_0449.jpg
So they got the first two tutus.

The Honey Bucket - Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah

so we couldn't venture too far out onto the salt.

The temple burns.

IMG_0738.jpg
The spirits dance off into the desert night in little vortices.

IMG_0739.jpg
Tens of thousands of people sit in silence watching the flames
release all the emotions, wishes and prayers left in the temple.

IMG_0741.jpg
It's incredibly powerful.

IMG_0742.jpg
The design of the temple this year left a pattern
of burning remains that you could walk through.

Out on the Loneliest Road in America we stop at an old favorite,
The Shoe Tree. See the flaming sneakers (tan soles) right in the middle of the picture? Those are my shoes that I threw up there one year ago!

IMG_0759.jpg
This guy is awesome, riding solo from Durango, CO to San Francisco.

IMG_0760.jpg
Hmmm... what door do burners use?

IMG_0761.jpg
That's just the kind of road that gave us a flat tire last year, but we're going anyway.

IMG_0763.jpg
Because way out there are hot springs!
We soak with Cassy and Tim, fellow burners we met on the road.

Now we're in Moab, in a beautiful valley/canyon
that Cassy and Tim recommended for camping.

IMG_0845.jpg
It's also where their friends, and fellow burners, Zack and Emily
live in a really sweet bus, and where they invited us for dinner.

IMG_0846.jpg
Complete with a climbing wall. Practice here for the real thing back there.

IMG_0847.jpg
Did I mention the bus is awesome?

IMG_0848.jpg
I mean really really nice.

IMG_0849.jpg
All you could need.

IMG_0851.jpg
Zack and Emily.

IMG_0853.jpg
They take us on a hike - one we'd never have found
if we weren't with locals.... who are climbers.

IMG_0854.jpg
Cable Arch.

Named for...

Taos Pueblo.

IMG_0932.jpg
UNESCO World Heritage site and a National Historic Lanmark.

IMG_0933.jpg
Unfortunately, it's also become a major tourist attraction.

IMG_0934.jpg
The village has been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years.

IMG_0935.jpg
But it's very hard to live here now.

IMG_0943.jpg
As it's overrun with tourists.

IMG_0944.jpg
And most of what goes on here now involves selling stuff to them.

IMG_0945.jpg
I tried hard to capture images without tourists.

IMG_0946.jpg
It really is beautiful.

IMG_0949.jpg
And it's amazing to think of the history and culture.

IMG_0950.jpg
It's hard to say how much is still inhabited/functioning.

IMG_0954.jpg
Many houses have turned into souvenir shops.

IMG_0955.jpg
This oven is just for show.

IMG_0957.jpg
It lies at the base of the biggest mountains in New Mexico.

IMG_0958.jpg
The people practice Catholicism alongside their native religion.

IMG_0959.jpg
The church is quite striking.

IMG_0961.jpg
Standing tall right in the center of the village.

IMG_0962.jpg
There are lots of scenes here.

IMG_0966.jpg
It certainly is photogenic.

IMG_0973.jpg
Later we drive up through the ski village and onto dirt roads,
then hike a few miles up to Williams Lake at over 11,000 feet.

IMG_0978.jpg
Where we find marmots.

IMG_0978a.JPG
Our play time is up and tomorrow we start
a three day drive straight home to NYC.
So tonight we dine at a really wonderful,
cute little restaurant in a converted church.
In their own words, it's "a comforting space
to share natural whole sustenance.
All products are organic in nature,
regional in source & prepared from scratch
with intention. We are your local source
for affordable, unpretentious, inventive good food."
