    Burning Man ended on September 3 over in the US, so many who spent a week in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert are just coming back down to earth.

    Those who have spent a few days in the company of peeps who have just returned from AfrikaBurn will know exactly what we mean by that.

    Anyway, Burning Man was once again a visually spectacular experience, and we found a number of galleries online that do it justice.

    To start, here are some pictures from San Francisco photographer Jane Hu, featured on SFGate:

    See that full gallery of Hu’s work here.

    If you’re after portraits of the people who were there, and a closer look at Burning Man fashion, also check out this gallery of Hu’s work.

    There’s another great gallery on Mercury News, and here are a few snaps from that collection:

    Everyone loves a dancing bear.

    That gallery has 100 photos, so get busy here.

    For a brief summary of some of the controversy from this year’s Burning Man, we head to Salon:

    This year, according to the Reno Gazette Journal, the week-long festival had 58 arrests — 14 more than last year. While most of the arrests were for drug possession, one arrest was for a sexual assault incident that occurred on-site but immediately before the event’s official start on August 25…

    In addition to the arrests, there were two Burning Man–related deaths. The first occurred on Sunday, August 25. Lonnie Richey, a 61-year-old Nevada man, was killed in a fatal car crash on County Road 34, which is a narrow, two-lane, stretch of highway that leads to the event site. Richey, Salon has learned, was working as a flagger for traffic control for the event, contracted through a sub-agency. The Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office told KTVN that fatigue appeared to be a factor in his death…

    The second death occurred in Black Rock City itself during the event. A 33-year-old man, Shane Billingham, died at Burning Man on Thursday, August 29. According to USA Today, he was found unresponsive in his vehicle at his camp, Beats Boutique, around 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Bystanders tried CPR. He was then transferred to Burning Man’s onsite emergency care center where he was declared dead. According to the Reno-Gazette Journal, toxicology reports showed a poisonous concentration of carbon monoxide in his blood.  The Sheriff’s Office told the Gazette that while a “quantitative analysis of the toxicology will not be available for a few weeks,” preliminary results showed “the presence of controlled substances to be an exacerbating factor.” Billingham was from New Zealand…

    Let’s finish on a more positive note, with a very cool 4K tour of some of the artwork on display at Burning Man 2019:
