L'Insalata Ricca Restorante

Sitting at "our" salad restaurant in Rome. Unfortunately Holland lost the night we last ate here.

Martin at Statzione Genova

The old dock where many famous people used to arrive and where the EPAC conference dinner was. Martin happily poses for me.

Merc star and Freedom church Berlin

Escaped the overcast south, now in sunny Berlin.

The Rock

You feel as if this rock is just looking down on you wherever you go at ESRF. It is there out the window over breakfast lunch and dinner and when ever you step out of a lab door.

Twilight at ESRF

Another dramatic view around the lab at ESRF. Here you can see a bluff hanging over the lab at twilight.

ILL reactor

Here is the 54 MW nuetron source reactor through the break in the ESRF storage ring building roof.

ESRF from on-top of booster tunnel

Well, the booster RF is playing up, window is maybe leaking, so no more machine playing for the day. Better finish off my poster for EPAC.

ESRF at Grenoble

Machine studies at 15.00, but first a tourist trip to the Bastille. Here is a birds eye view of the lab next to the river.

Dourdan from the hotel

So, the hotel is on a hill just a short walk from the town. Possibly the cathedral is visible in this shot taken looking northwest towards the old town centre. The lectures are very thorogh and there are lots of calculations to make things to try when I get back to the lab.

Notre Dame by night

Paris looks after its tourists by lighting up its landmarks at night. This is the view just at the Metro exit at Saint-Michel Notre Dame.

Sunset in the French country side

It is nice and late when the Sun sets in France these days, a nice jump from the Melbourne relative dark. This shot was taken just before 21:30.
