Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I love the panoramic view. Those open fields are great for a festival like that. Do you know how tall the Wickerman was? (I didn't see it in the thread yet, hope I didn't just miss it:rolleyes: )

Actually, I believe the Burning Man is an American Hippie version of the Wickerman, which has ancient origins.
