As everyone else has said that's a fantastic collection of photos and it's even better that you've given a commentary on what they're of.
I see that the copiapoathon site has the description of the trip, if not the photos, yet. It's here: http://www.copiapoa.info/copiapoathon/2007calendar.htm if anyone isn't familiar with the site.
