    Check out the circle at 5:00 & C (lower center in the picture, about 1″ to the right of center camp).  We heard about the satellite from the neighbors and set that up with random people.

    THANK YOU!!! 

    Is there somewhere one can go to to be able to zoom in more than with the image above?  Would be even awesomer if one could zoom in to see a group more closely posing )’(

    Download the picture to your compy and (if you are a Windows user) use the “Windows picture and fax viewer”.  There is high enough resoultion that, I can see myself in the picture as we were standing in an area we could find later on the picture.  Good Luck.  Bryan

    Thank you for your response, Weebdog.  Is there a direct file download?  Clicking above the “click here” which takes you to another page with the photo opening up, leads one only to be able to then right-click and “save picture,” which when opening up that in a viewer, upon zooming in leads to blurring quickly — can’t see anyone.  Would be great if there was a direct file to download?

    The highest res photo I could find is linked to “Click here”. Sounds like that’s the one you’re looking at. If anyone finds a higher res version, let me know and I’ll update the post!

    Thanks a bunch edrabbit. 

    Hope it’s not the same situation as last year.  Last year one file was shared with the public, but upon zooming in everything gets blurry quickly.  Like now, pretty much (not that I am complaining, its just it would be nice to see people!).  Contacting GeoEye (I think, or it may have been a third-party) I was informed that a higher res version of the photo was available, but at something like $400.  Ugh.

    Our camp created our “Tribe” logo (backward “e”) using 3 water tanker trucks to write out the word 7009′ tall and 1700′ long. We wanted it to be visible without “zooming in”. The largest “art” in BM history I think????

  • Jim Bowers

    700′ tall , not 7009′ tall…  :-/

    this is for 2010′s burn but still. So amazing.

    This is not a high res pic. In the 2009 pic I could easily identify my car and tent. This is just fat pixel blur. I was just bicycling by with friends and got pulled into the 5:00 & C circle pose and would love to see us there. You can see a bit of a circle blur there. Anyway it was another miracle visit Home. Love to all Burners!!!

  • Bear

    I was there but can’t see anything in the “click here”. But thanks for grabbing us passers by and putting us in the pic.

    Is “Trib(backwards e)” made out of people?

    I was a little bummed to see it. Felt more like tagging than art.
