Burning Man photos by Tristan Savatier

Years: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999, 1998.­

burning man festival is yearly gathering of about 50,000 people, many from the San Francisco Bay Area, celebrating life, passion and art during one week in a desolated desert in Nevada.­

The event takes place each last week of august in an immense dry lakebed called Black Rock Desert.­ A temporary city is built where about everything is permitted except violence, money and commerce.­

The culmination of the event is the burning of a large human-shape figure in a giant bon-fire, hence the name (burning man festival).­ The city disappears completely at the end of the week, leaving no trace.­
