Thank you Steve and Florian :)

Florian, I really like your last shot, it manages to convey that high mountain atmosphere - the day has been sunny but cloud is now working in from the west and there is a real chill to the air. The wind has picked up and you need to put on that jacket the you stuffed into your bag just 15 minutes ago. No shelter so here's hoping the train is on time and we get on board before it rains...

Rod's shots are always excellent!

As for that Bernina route:

I've always loved those textured distant(?) mountains but I've never been able to grasp/understand the concept of getting them in place.

Such mountain textures would REALLY make a Rockies/Cascades/Sierra-type route come alive and look MUCH more realistic.
