Morteratsch Glacier from Montebello curve on the Bernina Railway (and a fence too!)

Blue skies, white mountains and red trains all go towards making an excellent scene Peter ~ which you have captured well ~ Bravo

Thank you Nick,

I am really pleased that you have enjoyed this one. As you can imagine, I had planned the trip around scenes like this, but the blue sky was a real unexpected bonus!

Very well composed Peter.
Like the bright colours.

Thank you Jaap,

This is quite a popular place for photos, for a number of reasons. In this case really helped by the bright sunshie and blue sky!!

I certainly agree with Nick, my dear Peter!!
It is a really excellent photo!

My dear Füsun,

I am so happy that you like the result! I did have to wait for a couple of trains to pass before I got it right, but we got there in the end (despite sinking into the snow, and the splinters from the fence..)

Love Peter

Thank you Steve,

I am so pleased that you have found this one to your liking. I was lucky with the weather, it had been hot all week. I have another photo from some days earlier, and is is feet deep in snow.

Hi Peter,

This reminds me of some of the railway posters I have seen in the past. I have a few calendars of them from long ago. This is really beautiful and a perfect perspective.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you Rosa,

I am sure this scene has been on many a calendar! It is one of the 'classic shots' on this railway, taken by everybody who passes (to varying degree of success). I am so happy that you have enjoyed it, and remember it.

Stunning scenery and a lovely shot. The red train makes a lovely splash of colour against the snow. HFF and have a good weekend Peter

Hi Carol,

Your visit has made me very happy! Thank you so much!
It is nice that the railway paints everything bright red for our pictures!

Best wishes, HFF and a good weekend.

Perfect for a postcard or a calendar! HFF, Peter!

Hi Herb,

Thank you so much! Of course the idea was to go for this kind of picture, and this is one of my fave's from the trip, so I am happy that you like it too.

I love the whole of it, the red train with the mountains, the curve and the snow...

HI Peter a cracking shot with some great scenery worthy of a YS .Best wishes Alan.

Thank you so much Alan

This was one of the main things which I came to see, along with Brusio Viaduct (which I haven't posted yet). Obviously no steam, but i think the bright red livery stands out well enough. I am very happy you like it.

I have missed many wonderful fence photos! Very nicely taken, Peter! :-)

Thank you Val

Of course the fence is a by product here!! This is one of the scenes I came to see, so I am so happy that you have enjoyed it too.

Best Wishes
Peter

A classic shot indeed, well done!
Will be a nice souvenir of the glacier when it's gone ...
