Burning Man 2022: Welcome back to the Default World, Burners. Here are RGJ's photos from the playa

Welcome back, Burners -- here's hoping for a gentle re-entry to the Default World and safe travels to wherever you are returning to. 

While you were on the playa, you might've missed these photos from RGJ journalists Andy Barron and Ed Komenda. Take a look, and remember those Waking Dreams.

Things started hot and dusty -- and stayed that way. 

But that didn't stop Burners from settling in to Home after a two-year pause in official Burning Man due to the pandemic.

The tradition of Tutu Tuesday returned with as much flair as ever.

Here's an art-car-eye's view of the playa as Andy toured Black Rock City on the Crystal Palace.

The art, the costumes, the otherwordly scene -- it was all back in full in 2022.

Did you get your Bad Portrait taken? They were Certifiably Bad.

Some Burners used their time creating poetry in an unlikely place.

The dust storm on Saturday was harsh. But Burners persevered.

The Man met his fiery end, bringing to a close Burning Man 2022.
