Temple of Hope
The Temple of Hope art installation at Burning Man 2006.
This photo was taken fairly early in the morning with the sun still close to the horizon. My camera is pointed north into the Black Rock Desert. The mountatins you see in the distance are about 40 or 50 miles away.
I'm perhaps a quarter mile away from the art installation and there was a steady breeze blowing across the desert floor starting to kick up a little bit of dust.

Temple of Hope at Dawn
Few things are more inspiring then sunrise in the desert. If you couple nature's most serene vista with humanity's most sublime art, reverence is what you experience.

Nothing.
This sign post at the entry to Black Rock City is both a warning and a blessing. Nothing is what you'll find in Black Rock City.
Nothing as you expect it.
Nothing you don't bring yourself.
Nothing you can't share with those around you.
Nothing you can possibly imagine.
Taken at Burning Man 2006 as a giant dust storm approached.

Gerlach
Gerlach sits at the edge of the Black Rock Desert, surrounded by mountains and scrub land. It's a true western outpost community with five bars, a gas station, a motel, a restaurant, and no church.
Taken on Nevada Route 447.

Black Rock Desert Panorama
The size of the 400 square mile Black Rock Desert playa is hard to comprehend...when you're there standing on it, you don't quite get how big it is. It is one of the largest flattest place on earth and there is nothing in our everyday experience that compares.
When you look at it you're quite literally unable gauge distances. You may think that Trego Mountain, the peak shown closest, is a mile or two away.. In reality it is almost five miles away. The mountains in the middle left of the image are 40 miles away!
