First impression: Grey and falling apart like another bad neighbourhood... Waiting for the trembling sensation of actually being at a place that is considered to be the centre of physics, eating in the same restaurants previously housing several Nobel Prize winners -- Sorry, but you're going to have to wait a looooong time for any sort of trembling, except of course from the one given by the cold travelling down your spine!
I haven't taken many photos my self, but another Norwegian student (Kim-Eigard) at CERN has, and you can see them all at CERN 2009 (there are also some pictures from Geneva here).
The work: Well first I, and my now new office mate, had to wait 2 weeks for new computers and our office to be ready. If you do the calculations I haven't gotten around to do much work during the total of 3 weeks I've been here. - Except reading though! (Meaning that I'm starting to get the hang of some basics).
The view from the office I was staying in for the first 2 weeks.

The restaurant is probably still housing Nobel Prize laureates. On my last visit to cern, Jack Steinberger suddenly joined me for breakfast! When at cern you never know who you might bumb in too.
