• Burning Man festival is an aerial view and not only

Wind speeds of up to 60 km / h, pylischa and huge insects - are not able to stop those who have arrived at this year's Burning Man festival. And judging by these photos from a height, such people was very high. Stretching enormous semicircle on the territory of the desert in Nevada, the city of Black Rock City, as it is called, has sheltered 65,000 people who lived and hung out here for seven days. In this gigantic city has its own theater, clubs, temples and churches, bus service and even the airport. After his festival disassemble, and he will wait for his moment of glory in the next year.

Although near the city seems a chaotic cluster of caravans, from afar it looks like a smooth, carefully arranged in a semicircle.

Incidentally, each horizontal road has the name - from Esplanade way inside before the first block camps to Laffing Sal - roads for the last block.

Vertical "streets" are named for the provisions on the clock, which they occupy. For example, 6:00 - in the center, 10:00 - on the left side, and 2:00 - on the right. In the heart of nowhere is man - a sculpture, in whose honor and named the festival. She set fire to the last day.
