Burning Man, a yearly gathering of 70,000 festive folks in Nevada's Black Rock Desert that celebrates art, inclusion and community, has concluded for 2016.

However, it's just beginning for those who have been anxiously awaiting photos of the event. Burning Man is typically an excuse to forgo cell phones and spend a week off the grid. Now that the desert is devoid of fabulous sculptures, cars and costumes and everyone has returned to air conditioning, showers and Wi-Fi, the Instagram posts are finally coming in.

Here are our 50 favorite Instagram pictures of Burning Man 2016's art, fashion, scenery and fire.
