Photographs from the Saas-Fee Course 2000

Here are some photographs from the 30th Saas-Fee course, which took place in Les Diablerets, Switzerland, 3-8 April 2000, on the subject of "High Energy Spectroscopic Astrophysics".

These photographs were taken by Poshak and Raquel (well, actually an anonymous tourist and a waiter) and scanned by Poshak.
A couple of my own (much less interesting) photos are here.

Some of the course participants outside the hotel, waiting for the bus to go to the glacier (visible in the background).



The hall where the lectures were held. The free mineral water was the most popular feature.



An anonymous astronomer...



We also learnt the fine Swiss art of curling. Surprisingly, the Canadian among us sucked...




Les Diablerets sits beneath a 3000m-high glacier. Here's the view from the top.



After just a few days, we were accomplished skiers...



I'm sure David would like me to draw attention to his lovely floral jacket.



At the end of the course, we had time for some fine-dining in Geneva.
This is where PPARC's money goes...
