This picture is from Burning Man a couple of summers ago, which was themed “Future: Hope or Fear?” People could vote one way or the other at stations around the camp, and this pavilion reflected the scores. It might be too small to see, but the clock thingy at the center says that fear was winning! Yay! Also, the “man” would change depending on the score: arms down= fear is winning, arms up= hope is winning.

The pavilion is designed to reflect the theme, so it changes every year. Interestingly, this “future” pavilion seems to match Metropolis‘s 1920s art-deco-ish vibe. I thought it was pretty cool, but… it burned down. Oh well!

Bonus fun activity: see how many crazy hats you can spot
