Man Burns 01

For most of the Burning Man festival, the arms of the man are in the down position. Just before the Man is burned, the arms are raised into the up position. Think of it as a thumbs up sign.

In the past, things have happened where one of the arms fell or the neon shorted out, so I took a series of photos to capture the moment in case something happened. Thankfully, the arms went up with no problems.

This is a series of three shots with the Man raising his arms for the last time.
