WOW that's a great shot. Did you take that?

[ygmir]

I wish I could find...........

once, out in the desert, I got a shot of a circle rainbow.
the sun was almost set, and it was raining about 10 miles away, and the rainbow was a perfect circle within.

That shots from a photographer named Neil Girling, known as The Blight, who's a member of Fandango and an outstanding documentarian. He has lots of fabulous Burn shots. Truly an amazing photographer!

Any chance you have a higher res version of that one for private use?

That's pretty rare. You usually only see that from a plane. (but any double rainbow is pretty rare, I guess, considering i never before saw one until Burning Man.

We're camped on playa 3 miles north of BRC and had rain, hail and rainbows just before sunset last night (friday). It was enough to puddle but ok to drive on by this am.

[ygmir]

thanks for the update, Joe.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm thinking as a self-respecting Newfie, I really should bring some rubber boots this year.

[gaminwench]

rubber boots are useless in playa mud.
just go barefoot if it rains.

No worries. He would be barefoot after two steps anyway -- after walking right out of the glued-down boots.

If anybody says anything, I'll save face by saying its a modern art performance.

And so the planning and design phase begins... the Air Yacht... searching for used dirigible parts now...

Elliot, that extra two feet of roof elevation on Millicent may come in handy for reasons you never imagined!

[FIGJAM]

I already plan on parking there!

You'll have to find somewhere else.

Just stay away from mine.

[gaminwench]

^^^ so much awesome, right there.

[littlebird]

Ok, what is this picture REALLY of? It's not a BM from years past, is it? If so, I'm leaving my apartment RIGHT NOW to go shopping for a snorkle, swim goggles, fins, and a dinghy.

Holy crap. Remind me never to go there. Actually, don't bother; I still have PTSD from 5 consecutive years of attending Lollapalooza (2005 - 2009) when I lived in Chicago and watching it devolve into a hell hole of scenesters who have no interest in music.

And she should know, folks, for she was co-piloting the Dauntless Dirigible in that photo. Good times, even off Playa.

Well I might as well admit it now 'cuz you'll find out later anyway... the Yacht doesn't really float anymore. Do you still love me?

[delle]

Do you still love me?

Forever and always, regardless.

[DrewDubious]

It's my 1st burn so obviously the weather will be FABULOUS. Dur.
