May 29: Klosters to Zürich
To go southwest, I first had to go northwest.
8026
Next to Klosters train station is also a cablecar station, the base of the Gotschnabahn.
8028
The waiting room windows on the platform are same construction as the train windows, which I find rather meta, or something, whenever I encounter it.
8032
Socking in.
8042
This is the striking Sunnibergbrücke over the Landquart River.
8047
A brief glimpse of a mysterious ravine.
8049
A brief glimpse of a mysterious cow.
8052
Soft-looking terraces among soft-looking trees.
8057
I wonder what these curious fanlike pieces at the edges of the overpass are.
8059
Strong sun in the foreground but the sky still looking threatening further on.
8060
Ridges chiaroscuro.
8062
A brief glimpse of a mysterious minibarn.
8068
At Landquart, I transferred again to continue to Zurich; here's the new train arriving.
8086
We snaked along the southern shore of the Walensee, which lies at the border of Cantons St. Gallen and Glarus. As see here, the north shore is a bit steep in places. The Churfirsten rise up directly above these cliffs.
8087
To the east, with the clouds looking hot and heavy, the scene looked more like, I dunno, Indonesia than Switzerland.
8095
Somewhere in Canton Glarus or Schwyz, between the Walensee and the Zürisee, typical Ostmittelland farm architecture.
8102
Huh! A distinctly Bernese-looking farmhouse.
8105
Now on the Zürisee, getting closer to Züri itself, as can be gleaned from the extensive development along the shore.
8111
Some of these with their Ründi also look Bernese.
8112
Deep into the bowels of Zürich Hauptbahnhof.
8113
Pretty cool exposed-structure tectonics at the platforms.
