Landwasser Viadukt in Autumn with Rhaetian Railway Train
On a gray, rainy day in the eastern U.S., some golden autumn memories of a favorite place along my favorite railroad.
A Rhätische Bahn St. Moritz-bound Regio-Express crosses the magnificent stone arch Landwasser
Viadukt in Switzerland's Canton Graubünden in the golden late day light of an October afternoon.
The curved structure, dating from 1902, carrying the Rhätische Bahn's Albula Line over the canyon of the
Landwasser River, is one of the most remarkable aesthetic and architectural features of this narrow gauge line.
The train is about to enter a tunnel high up in the rock-face and will emerge in a few minutes at the station in Filisur.
The photo, taken in October 2010, makes its first appearance today.

Oh Steve this is wonderful, and I really regret to haven´t travelled there this year!While this year, October was mostly overcast and rainy, everyone would´ve longed for a bit of golden sunshine, but alas. only the very last October day was bright and sunny - last not least!
And I took my chance! And - have a look at this:
NATURPARADIES ROSEGTAL

I like how the tight geometry of the train and bridge contrasts with the ruggedness of the natural landscape. The colourful contrasts of light and colour are also strong.
