Land art: "LGV - NON" - seen on the slope of the Rhune mountain

Land art: "LGV - NON" - seen on the slope of the Rhune mountain
Since 1924, the rack train makes it possible to reach the summit without effort. From the pass of St. Ignace, the famous cogwheel train climbs in 35 min. to the top of the Rhune. It crosses a wild nature and the road of the sheep and "pottoks", these small endemic wild horses living in freedom on the slopes of the mountain (see PiP's).

Thanks Peter. I was too lazy to go up there;-))) I took the train, which was a great experience. In terms of letters, yes, it could be something like that.

Ok Hubs, zu Fuss oder mit dem Zug ?!
Zu Fuss sind's ca. 3 Std hoch, mit dem Zug 35 Min. (der fährt seine rasanten 8 km/h...).

Eine Bitte habe ich: Falls es Dir möglich sein sollte das Foto mit der Eisenbahn in einer größeren Auflösung als 800x600 extra hochzuladen, so tu das bitte. Damit wir Eisenbahnfreunde nach hochzoomen die Details betrachten können.
Vielen herzlichen Dank im voraus.

Ich hab's zur Originalgrösse hochgeladen (geht nicht grösser, ich poste lediglich Fotos mit 1500x1125), ich hoffe, es ist ok. Aber hier ist ein Link, wo du mehrere Ansichten hast; und dieser kleine Film ist auch interessant, am Ende sieht man auch, wie der Zug den Berg wieder runterfährt. Eine schöne Woche wünsche ich dir.

Vielen Dank für Deine Bemühungen

Hi, Christa! Great shot. Impressive!
I only want to say: maybe, I mistakes, but I clearly see letters LGV above NON. And more above: E ZANT or some similar (perhaps it is just a part of word?).
Best wishes!
Serge.

Fantastic Serge, you're absolutely right! And now I also understand: LGV means "Ligne à Grande Vitesse" (High Speed Line), so it's a protest against this planned line through their landscape. And the letters above have probably the same meaning in Basque language. Good work, Serge!

A great series of pictures here to complement this landscape. The scarring of the landscape seems a bit drastic in this protest but perhaps not as much as acraileay line. Well done.

Cheers, Herb

Thanks Herb, but after all, it's only the vegetation which is cut in that way, it will grow again.... Best regards, Christa

"NON?"

The "NON" is a protest against the high-speed rail project in this area!!
