METAL CAMP: 3-8 JULY 2008

All pictures are 800 × 600 pixels, apart from panoramic views which keep a constant height of 600 pixels. Those of you who know how to ask me for a higher resolution should do so if you really need it.

A review of the trip can be found here. Fortunately, it fits on one page.
