Here’s a selection of all of our Burning Man 2009 coverage.

View of the Burning Man central pavilion, which is like a public square at Burning Man. It’s come a long way since the base was constructed of hay as late as 2000. The whole thing will be burned in just a few hours as part of the central ritual of Burning Man. The dust storm threatened to prevent the Man from being burned, but the event’s organizers went on with the program, which included spectacular performances by fire spinners, dancers and acrobats.
