A wildflower blooms in the Black Rock Desert as California costume designer dons a neon costume and pink scarf to brave a sandstorm at Burning Man, the annual weeklong festival in northwestern Nevada's National Conservation area. Beyond, Uncle Sam wheels along the vast playa, a salt flat or dry lake bed on one of Earth's flattest spots. Thousands of people create an instant city annually that celebrates art in a unique counter-culture experience.
