LOVE Bicycles by Gary Evans and friends.

Photo taken at the Burning Man 2012 festival (Black Rock Desert, Nevada).

Gary Evans wrote:

Hi There, my name is Gary Evans and I co-created this project with my dear friend Richard Stein in Portland, Oregon. Our project was to spread love, so we set out to create bicycles with huge glowing letters and attached actual custom silk-screened love letters (made by our talented and dear friend Kerri McKeighen). We rode around Burning Man looking for people to surround with love, sometimes literally as you can imagine with the four bikes. We asked people if they would like to write a love letter and to please write it to yourself and if you said yes, we handed you a blank card and a pen from a box. When finished, we said you can have any already attached love letter from any bike and take it for your very own, but please leave the letter that you wrote in its' place. It c reated a self-generating system of love letters that were so heart-felt and creative. Many people were moved to tears. Needless to say, we loved doing this, and we continue to do this at Last Thursday Street Fair in Portland, World Naked Bike Ride, and sometimes just for fun! such a great picture! -Love, Gary

But we saw several BLM and Sheriff cars drive by (you can see one in this photo), and none of the officers cared about Brad and his powered paraglider taking off from the playa!

The coolest Police Station ever!

This is a Jandarma (that means "police post" in Turkish) near Göreme in Cappadocia (Turkey)

The police station was carved probably centuries ago, and it might have been an ancient roman tomb, since most of the carved hoodoos (or Fairy chimneys) in Cappadocia are in fact ancient tombs, later converted into houses.

The eroded rock formations of Cappadocia look like sandstone, but it is actually volcanic tuff, a type of rock consisting of consolidated volcanic ash that originated from ancient volcanic eruptions in the region.

The Man, by Larry Harvey, Rod Garrett.

This one looks really nice in large size.

In 2009, the Burning Man rises above a 'tangled bank' consisting of irregular wooden triangles. No two elements of this organic composition will be quite the same; together they'll create what's best described as a chaotic truss.

The truss is clearly inspired by the "belgian waffle" installation from 2006.
