We love maps.
We love imagery.
We love work breaks.
We hope you like them as well!
In 1986, Larry Harvey and his friend, Jerry James, pieced together a wooden figure and dragged it down to Baker Beach for the summer solstice where it burned, surrounded by a group of onlookers. Now an annual event, the 2025 festival has a new theme with organizers working behind the scenes leading up to the big event. In fact, we’ve written about Burning Man in the past, as it’s quite intriguing.
This year, there will be a Gateway Burn in St. Louis, the Cosmic Cabaret in New York, and the Freezer Burn in Alberta, Canada. The Gateway Burn is an annual event that celebrates the Gateway Burners community. In the spirit of Burning Man, attendees gather and camp together for four days of art, creativity, music, workshops, community activities, education, etc.; and then they end the weekend with an effigy burn. Cosmic Burn is a multi-day campout event while Freezer Burn is the annual Alberta Regional Burning Man celebration where organizers create a temporary community out on the prairie to replicate the Burning Man experience.
For this month’s Imagery Work Break, we have a 30-centimeter Pleiades Neo 4 image collected on August 25, 2024, looking down on Black Rock City, Nevada, at the jampacked 2024 Burning Man Festival. The event draws as many as 70,000 people each year. The 2025 festival will be August 24th to September 1, with the theme: Burning Man 2025: Tomorrow Today.
Have a great rest of your workday! 😊
