Big Rig Jig

By Mike Ross and crew. This was one of the largest art pieces on the playa this year. People were encouraged to actually climb up into the tanker sections once the piece was completed.

Yeah, no way I'd climb that. But it is massive and incredible to look at. I think user John Curley has something similar. Probably a whole lot of people from Flickr there.

Even though I saw the link to the original photo you had posted, this link will take you to a site that is displaying that photo of yours: www.fleetinginterest.com/ - I saw that link in a discussion in the Beware of Thief! group.

BURИBLUE says:

Thanks for the heads up, Chrisser - but all my online photos are tagged with a CC license - as long as there's a link back, anyone can use my web-sized photos. They seemed to include just about every scrap of info there was, including my copyright (twice!), so no harm, no foul.
