description: weeping willow shade tree for burning man.  tree made of pvc branches and fabric leaves at burning man 2006, 8:15 and fate.  there was so much to do that we didn't get around to building it until the last few days. we finished it for the last sunset and sunrise. it worked and looked great, allowing us to reposition the branches as the sun moved.  we then cut it up to take home without taking a picture.
