Thunderdome is fun, beautiful and a bit dangerous.

Geoffrey built an ingenious water treatment system for our gray water. The camp's gray water was filtered, sanitized, pressurized and then sprayed onto the tennis court. This created a hard crust for better game play. (The weird light balance was due to an accident on my part.)

Maintaining the court was a morning ritual. Like any clay court it needed to be swept, packed and watered daily.

By removing one of the tent's side walls, it became a courtside clubhouse. The ability to add or remove walls allowed the big Ganesh tent to be in harmony with the weather or whatever else was going on.

The Court of Ganesh provided citizens of Black Rock City everything needed for tennis. Our tennis pro was available for lessons, and libations were provided in the courtside big tent.

The Wing added to the shade in camp. Nice place for an afternoon siesta.
