Burning Man by Night

Burning Man: Rites Of Passage - Night is Ahmed ElHusseiny's sequel to his portrait of the festival during the day. When the sun sets, Black Rock City is transformed from a dusty desert encampment into what looks like a rave on Mars in the year 3000. Here, we get a rare look at the burning of the Man and the Temple, and a smack of floating jellyfish by Billion Jelly Bloom.
