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.
