Last year when we went camping, there was a burn ban due to drought and fire conditions. This year, on the rainy Olympic Peninsula, fires in campsites were allowed. I had so missed it.

Tongues of orange and yellow flames leap from campfire logs

In honor of the fantastical Burning Man event held in the Nevada desert at this time every year and just ended, here’s a photo I took when I was there in ’07. The statues in the lower left are several stories high. Enormous and mind-boggling doesn’t begin to describe the entire event.

Gigantic flames ignite after the man burns in ’07, with enormous metal statues emoting nearby
