Luxeuil (Saint Saveur), NDB LXI, August 12, 2008

This beacon is located at the airbase at Luxeuil-les-Bains. This means that, although it is possible to get close to it, it is not allowed to take pictures nearby. Unfortunately, it was also very cloudy, which did not help for a good result. Oh yes, the text on the sign for non-French speakers:

It is not allowed to
draw/sketch, take pictures,
enter the terrain or
perform topographical actions
behind this border.

It goes without saying that the photos outside the delimited area were taken with a telephoto lens. The quality is therefore not very good.
For clarity, a map of the area was made at home with the help of openstreetmap.org.
