Pictures
|
Please note that posting to the photo-gallery will be
interrupted today, Friday 1st, at 10:00 for a
couple of hours (possibly less). We need to transfer the Gallery
form he local server to the school server. The posting service
will then re-open on the CERN server but uploading from
Helsinki to CERN will traverse Europe and may take more time.
We nevertheless invite you to keep posting even after the
school: important to keep memory of key moments.
This does not affect the viewing. |
