This animation shows a giant smoke ring at sunrise after the burn. Someone about 5 blocks down on the Esplanade (we're guessing) would hold up a nozzle spewing flames and a dark smoke in a circle. In this case the rolling smoke ring emerged perfectly and then drifted away. I enjoyed seeing this, but they probably used gasoline or diesel to create such sooty smoke, and that couldn't have been good for the environment. But that's a topic for another day.

Where are these photos from?: These are photos I took at Burning Man 2004 in Nevada (some photos were taken by Kevin too).
