You really don't get an accurate feel for how tall this thing was by looking at these pictures. And again, this is one of those pieces where you say to yourself "How the hell did they get this thing out here?"

Side note: The back of your ticket to Burning Man states that you risk injury or death by attending/participating in this event".






These are amazing pics rand.

i am with you the the "not fond of Heights" thing. Just looking at those pics had my heart racing.
