Burning Man kicked off on Sunday...
The fuse is lit! 'Dreamers and doers' descend on Black Rock City for world famous Burning Man festival that operates purely on a barter system (unless it's coffee or ice)

- The annual festival, which runs until September 5, becomes its own temporary city due to number of people
- On Sunday, hundreds of RVs began rolling into the Black Rock Desert carrying thousands of revelers

Jumbo fete: Artists are planning on constructing a full-sized Boeing 747 in the desert to mark the annual Burning Man festival
Burning Man kicked off on Sunday as thousands of revelers made their way into the Nevada Desert for eight days of art and alternative living
Temple: A replica of an Asian-style building is being erected on the desert flats ready for the start of the huge get-together
Get around: The festival supports 250,000 people over the week and a popular way to traverse the city-sized celebration is by bike - or in this case an Aladdin-style shoe
The event is so populous with tens of thousands of people attending, the dried up lake where the event is held becomes Black Rock City
At Burning Man, participants can visit art installations and participate in camps. This year's camps include an annex for spandex aficionados and the festival's popular air-conditioned Orgy Dome
Black Rock City is 'a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance', Burning Man's website says.
On Sunday, hundreds of RVs began rolling into the Black Rock Desert, carrying thousands of revelers to Burning Man.
Pictures of unique art began leaking from the event as attendees posted pictures to Instagram.
