kiwiburn photos

I just got the cd with the pictures from my single-use camera from the photoshop. The order is a bit chaotic, but roughly reversed:

 The Burning Man. He broke in half and is lying on his back. Head on the left, his arm pointing at us. His heart is ascending to the sky from his chest.

 Not visible on the photo: The full moon above the fire and the overland powerlines in the background, all of which added to the picture (the one I saw ;-)

 Fire trucks and ambulance. The camera had a really cheap flash.

 Gandalf on a Gyroboard, a skateboard mounted on a spring.

 Valhalla feast with demons.

 The overview plan. Hehe, overview. Wahaha, plan!

 The Greeting area, where I did a few shifts removing people from the 'default world' and providing them with the information and attitude they needed for this.

 The 'recreational vehicle' with sofa space and the most extraordinary things to watch on the tv frame.

 Before the heart surgery. There is an interesting story about the man-crew and the guy who got the idea to build him a heart.

 His heart.

 The trampoline is suspended to the metal frame like a swing.

 Obviously a case of ghost photography.

 In the center of the pallet labyrinth, looking at the original man burning site, which was changed due to the fire regulations. The weather was the hottest in 20 years and there was a total fire ban to protect the million-dollar-timber plantations (=forests). btw the ones in which 'yogi bear' was filmed.

 The pallabyrinth, looking towards the fire spinning area.

 My tent on top of the hill. It got crowded up there once the festival started officially.

 This was before the crowds came.

 The other side. The tarpaulin turned out to be unnecessary, because it didn't rain for the entire week.

 A Were-Vampire, obviously.

The beach at the lake. We even had a pirate ship that cruised along. One night, we were half a dozen people on the tv-trailer, and decided to stop at the lake and take a full-moon-midnight cruise.

It is a collective, but it works if everyone wants to be a part of it for a week. It was only on the last day that someone involved me in a political discussion. Not a good idea, it took me some time of running around and hugging random people to cure my mood.
