Hallo list,

sorry that I am a little late with the photos, but I was very busy the last 2 weeks.
Anyways, here are some nice impressions from the Gifhorn Meteorite Show 2006.
Unfortunatly I could not take so many photos as usual because I was busy at my table, but I will try to do it better next year.
Here are the links with the photos.
