A FRIDAY, JUNE 6 2014 PHOTO 9 OF A 20-PICTURE PHOTO ESSAY
In this photo taken Friday, June 6, 2014, An Israeli woman wears a unicorn mask as she walks in the playa during Israel's first Midburn festival, modeled after the popular Burning Man festival held annually in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, in the desert near the Israeli kibbutz of Sde Boker. Some 3,000 people set up a colorful encampment in the dusty moonscape, swinging from hoops by day and burning giant wooden sculptures by night. For five days, participants mostly Israelis created a temporary city dedicated to creativity, communal living, and what the festival calls "radical self-expression." (AP Photo/Oded Balilty), APTOPIX
