I usually post photography, but years ago I made an #effigy for a regional #BurningMan event called #PlayaDelFuego. I stretched the usual pony theme to be a #seahorse, gathered #driftwood along the #PotomacRiver to make it, and the finished piece was 12’ tall (3.7m), 15’ (4.5m) on the wood pile. You can see friends and me (long hair, black outfit, open back) light the "pony."

This is clearer, but I'm opposite the camera:
