But now that the Playa has been cleared, it's the perfect time to look back at Burning Man's most out-of-this-world art cars.

Photographer Tomas Loewy is a habitual burner who shoots amazing photos of the event every year and has released a book of his photography. He shared some of his best photos of art cars over the years with Tech Insider.
