This year the Man was on a large pyramid. You could get a nice view of the city from it. Here a skydiver comes in for a landing.

The crowd begins to gather.

A guy in the crowd was handing out sparklers. Skot and Ash watch, waiting for the burn to start.

Immediately before the burn there was a huge show of fire dancers.

As everyone gathered, the Man raised his arms. Unfortunately his left arm promptly collapsed, causing a spinal cord injury which took out all the lights on the left side.

Here fires started in the pyramid, and fireworks erupted.

Here the pyramid goes up in lots of flame.

The flame becomes lots of smoke (obscuring the view of the Man) and pretty cool fireworks.

The flames made a wonderful light to look at faces in the crowd.

After the burn, a man launched a hot-air balloon. It had beautiful color patterns when the flame was on, and was completely invisible otherwise.
