Burning Man 2000 Nighttime Esplanade
The least welcoming environment for taking pictures with a simple digital camera is the nighttime. Neverless, I'm going to try to give you a feeling for what we see as we stroll around the Esplanade after dark. We're not off to a really good beginning here, sadly.
For all that i can remember, this might even be our camp. Every year, on the day after Christmas, I head down to our local stores to snatch up the bargains to be had on Christmas lights. They really don't want to re-stock them for the next year. We've had battery power on and off over the years, for these lights and to transfer pictures from the digital cameras to the PowerBook.
This is certainly not our camp; we eschew such bright lights in our happy space. And we certainly don't have gallons of anti-freeze.
Use your imaginations, please. One camp, ...
... and another one, with more lights ...
... and yet another. I love the low-level lights decorating the camps. So much more pleasant than the folks who hang several high-intensity propane-powered camping lanterns and flood their areas with uber-bright light. Bad, bad!
Now we're back at Center Camp; these were at the Black Rock City Post Office.
The work of the Lamplighters is appreciated along so many of our city's walkways.
And one last view from our nighttime tour. Thank you so much for sticking by during this difficult page.
Let's go and visit the Man.
