Mix One Part Solar With Two Parts Art...

From the Burning Man activities out west a couple of years ago...
Just a patch of blue lighted sand in the desert...
Funny looking lights, about knee high...
Are the blue lights supposed to represent water?
What a wonderful LED and fiber optic lighted dragonfly
And a lilly in bloom, with the lilly pad below it.
And the "man behind the curtain" is a bunch of small solar panels

EXPANSIVE REALNEO REPORTAGE
Hello Bill!, I have wanted to do Burning Man, but not yet. What does the desert look like when its over? Someone scrubs it up I assume... And on whose property is it held? Good shots, anybody sleep there?
black rock desert
I understand its in the black rock or flat rock desert. On public land. I also hear this puppy has gotten pretty comercialized but every year the pix still amaze me.
RE: EXPANSIVE REALNEO REPORTAGE
Jeff,
My travel there was virtual :-) Sorry about that...
Here is their website if you are interested: http://www.burningman.com/
Regarding the photos, none of them were mine. I copied them off the web two years ago, on February 2, 2005. I felt that I would want copies, mainly for personal education & "enlightenment", as it were. I tried to find them again earlier today, so I could post a link to the source where I had found them, but alas, I could not find the main source.
Just now, I tried again, and I was able to find the the first source of the photos: http://www.sunbrothers.com/portfolio/garden.htm?item=lilypad,
as well as the secondary source I used: http://www.photo-freelancer.com/events/e021031_fire_garden_halloween/garden/index001.html
Also, I did manage to track this down on the artist:
Who wants to put together an art ptoject for Burning Man?
When I lived in San Francisco I knew lots of burners from all over the world - I haven't been to Burning Man myself but want to go... who else is interested to put together a project for this year? NEO should sponsor this to promote our community... perhaps as part of Ingenuity outreach. Here's the info on the theme, which certainly fits well with the claimed interests of so many people here. Post or email me if this is of interest to you.
