Fascinating drone footage taken above Burning Man shows stunning views of prominent installations at the arts and culture festival as thousands of revelers make their way around the desert by foot and bicycles.
An estimated 70,000 people are in attendance to the eight-day revelry - which sees burners don wild costumes and leave their cash at home for a week of all-night parties in the temporary city known as the playa, north of Reno, Nevada.
The festival's webcast team shot drone footage early this week, which aired on the Burning Man Live Stream.
Photos from the drone footage show bikers trek around the desert and aerial views of art installations such as the Burning Man Temple.
The festival is scheduled to run through the next Monday with celebrity guests such as the likes of Cara Delevingne and Elon Musk among previous years' attendees.
Burners shared photos on social media this week from the mega-party, showing off nights with lit up bicycles, DJ sets and skimpy outfits.
Tickets for the event went on sale for $1,200 in January. The only items sold within the festival are coffee and ice, with attendees expected to bring everything else they may need.
Thousands of festival-goers were forced to put their Burning Man plans on hold Sunday, as the event was delayed on its first day.
Revelers waited for hours on the entrance road outside of the festival due to sand storms, potholes and construction.
This year's event has kicked up a significant amount of controversy as law enforcement officials threaten to set up traffic stops on the road to the venue and the #MeToo movement calls the appropriateness of the signature 'Orgy Dome' into question.
