Pictures from PSI'03 conference and workshop - roll 1

If you click on the pictures you can see them at 600x400.

Start of the trip: gate B24 in Düsseldorf, 06/07/03 Pulkovo's Tupolev 154M to St.Petersburg Do other aircraft also have a sign 'Cut out here'? Arrival at Tolmachevo, Novosibirsk, 07/07/03 Also from Petersburg to Novosibirsk we had a Tupolev 154M

After registration for the conference in Akademgorodok, there was a short excursion to downtown Novosibirsk Kees Koster's wish was to sit here at this small church, St. Nicholas Chapel at the geographical center of Novosibirsk, for a few hours enjoying the weather and waiting for us to pick him up on the way back Lenin cum suis in front of Samsung Ploschad Lenina in front of the opera which has, according to our guides, the largest dome in the world Nobody could explain me what the idea behind these sculptures was

Because of the festival of Ivan Kopalla our guide didn't want to show us the parks; the idea behind this festival is that it is allowed to throw water over innocent bystanders and apparently she was afraid of the water and I must admit that they typically aim for the women; here you can see some people chasing others and the water on the ground does not come from the rain These Soviet stars are still being lighted at night Not only the parks were danger areas: also out on the streets you had people like this guy trying to surprise other people with water Next day, 08/07/03, we went to the local train museum Sorry, I forgot to write down the details of the trains I took pictures of

Some of the trains looked as if they were kept in a proper condition to use them again; look at the grease... Maybe someone had a little bit too much Vodka before he painted this sign?

There were many trains for specific uses This one was used to align the rails on which it was driving; unfortunately we could not get a demonstration of how this worked

This one was called 'Mixer' Back in Akademgorodok I went out for a walk; this is the main building of the university Koptyuga's statue without and with flashi; not much difference The Russian version of our 'Jonge Onderzoekers Club'

Lavrentev, the scientist who founded the city Akademgorodok about 45 years ago Reconstruction of the main street Morskii Prospect House of science for the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences; this is where the conference was held Inside the archeological and ethnographical museum in Akademgorodok where they have two mummies that were found in Altai around 1993; unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures of their masterpieces so I took a picture of this house of the gods on the left (no it is not a dog house!) instead The name of the museum

The entrance; from left to right you see: nn, Jelena Sanko, Jean Beney, Anna (our guide), nn, Torben Mogensen, Tony Hoare and Yuri Klimov
