Luxeuil, NDB LXI, August 12, 2008

This beacon is located at the militairy airbase at Luxeuil-les-Bains. This means that, while you can go near to the beacon, it is not allowed to make photos near to the beacon. Alas it was a rainy day and that didn’t help to make good pictures. The text on the sign for not French speaking persons:

It is prohibited to
make drawings/sketches, to make photographs
enter the terrain
do deeds of topography
behind this border.

Of course the photo’s shown here are taken at the site of the border where it is allowed to take photos.
