Using a new camera, and sometimes it gets off the 'AUTO' setting and gives these horrible washed out images. I kept them pnly because they mean something to me. Sorry, but there are a few more if you follow the whole chronological order of image. |
Empire Store. Had to stop and after a couple years of not being quite ready for the mob heading their way, this year was delightfully different. Stacks of beer in the store, books and this year's burning man calendar, and lots of good last minute items in and out of the store. |

A rare moment when our Sun Tower model stood proudly on the corner in front of our camp. The wind took it's toll on it this year! blowing it down repeatedly. Had to reglue it a couple times, but it finally ended up in a burn barrel towards the end of the week. Too many pieces to re-fix. |

Thursday. We built the tower in several sections to be stacked using heavy equipment once the glue hardenens tomorrow. The build went smoothly and fast! |
|

|
Heavy equipment drove 4 ground anchors that we'll use to tie the tower to the ground to keep it from tipping over. |
