Pictures from the “International School on High Field NMR Spectroscopy for Solids and Liquids” held at the Ecole de Physique [45 54 1 N, 6 46 13 E] outside Les Houches (Chamonix valley, France). Unfortunately the weather wasn’t terribly good, so the pictures lack that sparkle of snowy mountains against blue sky.<\/p>\n

\"Les<\/a> \"Forest<\/a><\/p>\n

The hamlet of Charousse [45 54 2 N, 6 45 57 E] was almost round the corner from the Ecole. Accessible only via rough tracks, it felt like stepping into a different world (images of Heidi).<\/p>\n
