Wojtek,
I agree, but one of the tenets of Burning Man is to "leave no trace." I suppose it's because it's easier to burn everything and clean up the ashes than to have to dismantle everything and haul it away. You would think burning causes a lot of pollution, but they do have rules on what can be burned so as to take it easier on the environment.

Interesting concept to intentionally put so much work into flames.

I'm sneaking another one
in, this one from last year's Burning Man festival. I don't think I sent it yet; it's a shot of the Temple. If you walk from the Esplanade (the innermost street) to the Man, you have to walk that same distance further to get to the Temple. The Temple is a place of meditation, memorials and reflection. When the Temple is burned on the last day, everyone is expected to be quiet and reverent, unlike when the Man is burned the day before.
