Observatoire Haute-Provence 1999 - The observatory by day

From Worldtraveller

If you were awake during daylight hours, you weren't there, or so say those who went on the UCL 1999 field trip to l'Observatoire Haute-Provence. 12 moderately irresponsible students, plentiful good wine and the best coffee machine in the world combined to create a memorable trip. We had a lot of fun but we also did a lot of work, and to prove both these facts I've put up some photos I took during our 10 days in France as well as the reports I produced.

Alps, observatory, and some of the group	Twilight over the dome of the 1.93m telescope	The road to OHP
A few minor foothills in the distance	The rather scrubby trees of OHP, looking half-decent in the evening light	1.93m dome in the Provençale twilight
