20070518 dark skies

i am a blogger, i am a blogger.....sigh, i am such a bad blogger.

so here is my monday morning effort: a few photos from friday at the 'dark skies' event in the playa about an hour south of lost vegas. it was a regional burn event, burning, as in burning man. there are regional events around the west throughout the year that lead up to the 30-40,000 person burning man event in northern nevada in august....met some locals and started to learn more about what burners are all about. i'm a pacific northwest girl and most festivals of the sort that i've been to have always been in forests so seeing a city grow up out of the massive expanse of the wide open desert was pretty wild.
