Friday Foto: Burning Man Temple

As promised, the last set of Burning Man photos. Closing out the year, appropriately enough, is the Temple–which burns the day after the more-famous Man, and is for many people, a more intense, thoughtful experience. The surfaces of the temple are covered with memorials to the recently dead; when it all goes up in flames, it can feel like your grief is beginning to boil away.

It’s also a great place to see the sunrise.

Posting will be more erratic than usual during the holiday season; best wishes to all of you for a happy 2009.
