Sang-Sung Lee, Violette Impellizzeri, Kalle Thorstensson, and someone else whose name I never got.

Beech, boats and oyster farm
|
Astronomers on a boat

More astronomers on a boat
|
Sea, boat, beach, church, trees.
|
Boat, beach, houses and ooh, oyster farm
|
Once more: boat(s), beach, houses, oyster farm
|
No boat this time
|
... nor this time
|
... and no oyster farm here!
|
... but plenty of oyster farming here, and no houses or boats.
|
Houses on stilts! Oh, and oyster farm.
|
Wind-surfing! Note the oyster farm in the background.
|
A big down. "Down-town Bordeaux"?
|
Sailing boat, and big town. Also water. No oyster farm, though.
|
The biggest sand dune in Europe. Oddly, without any associated oyster farms.
|
Lots of oyster farming! Also, some boats.
|
For the last time, just in case you've missed all of the previous mentions: oyster farm!
|
Astronomers in the restaurant. Occasionally eating oysters.

Footsteps of astronomers in the middle of nowhere (presumably made by Bogna and Pawel on their way to the beech on Tuesday)

Old forest gives way to new. Ditto for astronomers? ;-)

... more path to the beach
|
... and yet more. It was a long way to the beach.

A tree. Note all of the oxygen in the atmosphere (emission peak at ~ 600nm)

Two astronomers (Zsofia Nagy and Anne Angsmann (?) ) on a swing, in the dark.

Ditto.
