CEOI 2003

This page contains some of the photos that I took at the Central European Olympiad in Informatics (CEOI) 2003 in Münster (Germany). Unfortunately, I could not take photos of most events because I was a member of the scientific committee and had to work on the tasks, the network and the computers most of the time. Thus I made only one or two photos between the welcome day and the second excursion day. Eleven of the 110 photos (those with the substring "db" in their name) were taken by Dominic Battré.

The Lamberti Church, in the evening.	One of the buildings in the background has a design that is common in Münster and which is also realized in the city hall. This architecture inspired the Münster / CEOI 2003 logo.	Also note the metal cages in which some early baptists were presented as deterrence and bird food after having been tortured to death, in 1535.
The Münster cathedral.	By the way...Münster is situated in Westphalia!
