Burning Man/Open Space

[Kaliya Hamlin]

Yeah Burning MAN is amazing.
  I am getting ready to go - putting the final touches on my greenman  
sculpture and painting my cloths.

I wrote this post about my experience last year.

And re-entry as it continued.

Basically it is a week in an alternate reality - like way different  
then anything we experience in everyday life in western civilization.

You can search for photos in Flickr Tagged Burning Man to see a range  
of photos from the event.

Totally worth the trip.
