Photos of the week: 8/26 - 9/2

As we head into the long Labor Day weekend, take a moment to look back at the best photos from the week in news.

In weather-related headlines, we saw Hurricane Hermine hit the state of Florida on Friday, as well as a bizarre scene in Norway when a strike of lightning killed more than 300 reindeer.

Several festivals and events also took place this week, including the Burning Man arts and music festival in Nevada and the annual "Tomatina" tomato food fight in Spain.

Click through the slideshow above to see photos from all of these stories and more, and be sure to check back next weekend for our selection of the best photography from the coming seven days.
