Les Houches Summer School 1998

"Infrared Space Astronomy, Today and Tomorrow"



Here is a selection of the pictures (well, slides to be accurate) I have taken during the summer school. I didn't make any portraits; other students were far better at that! If you know of other sites showing pictures of this summer school, please contact me.
