We Found A Trove Of 2016 Burning Man Photos And Chose Our Top 10

There's no doubt about it, the photographs coming out of Burning Man are pretty mesmerising. Here's our pick of the lot.

Another year, another Burning Man.

Celebrating 30 years since the birth of the concept – which eventually found its way to our own version of a desert, Tankwa Karoo – this year, the temporary city saw more of the craziest artwork, trippiest techno, and more naked people than ever – if that is even possible.

Over 70 000 burners arrived in whatever manner their privilege provided, attempting to define a counter-culture that includes celebs and the elite of Silicon Valley.

When our very own AfrikaBurn happened earlier this year, we showed you what it was like – HERE – but unfortunately it can’t really compare to the original.

Here are our top 10 moment-capturing photographs:
