Brusio Viaduct

Ah, Brusio, one of my favourite spots on the Bernina line!

Hi Erhard,

Thank you so much! It was definitely one of my 'must see' places on my trip, along with www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46597158 Morteratsch Glacier. It was such a nice day too!!

Best wishes

I love this sort of curved viaduct Peter & you have captured it perfectly ~

Hi Nick,

I am so pleased that you have enjoyed it. Thank you! I took a few different pictures, from different angles, and picked this one because of the yellow flowers!

Superb!
I have skipped 5 days of members' photos. I am sorry to have missed many gems in that time but with pressure of work something had to give!

Hi Andy,

Thank you!! Nice of you to visit! We all have domestic duties to do!

What a smashing shot Peter and certainly a lovely structure to gain hight .. saved in fav's by me too here

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve,

Your visit is much appreciated! Thank you!!
As the railways are unfenced, it is easy to walk into the middle of the circle, and take from any angle. Only problem is to wait an hour between trains!

My dear Peter,

A nice Spring day!!
Blue sky, a great viaduct, the red train , and snowy mountains... Also it is cleverly to include the branches to the composition!Everything is perfect!
Really spectacular picture!!

Love Füsun

Now that is an interesting viaduct and very colourful train. The viaduct reminds me of the spiralling tunnels in the Canadian Rockies. (I shall try to find and post mine here soon.)
Great weather for such shots too, fully taken advantage off. Well done.

Regards, Herb

Thank you so much Herb.
I am so pleased that you like it. The weather was a real bonus for the trip. Blue sky was totally unexpected, and it was warm too!
According to the write up, the original plan was to build a spiral tunnel, but the rocks were too unstable, hence we have the lovely viaduct!
I look forward to seeing your pictrures!

My Canadian Spiral tunnel now ready for your approval Peter: www.ipernity.com/doc/1081863/46874252

Hi Peter,

What a great shot! So unusual and I have never seen one quite like it before.

best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much!! Sorry for a late reply, I've been away.
The usual way is to build a spiral tunnel, but in this case the rock proved too unstable, so the design had to be 'modified;
The Ffestiniog railway in North Wales has a spiral at Dduallt station, although on an embankment as opposed to a bridge.

Best Wishes
Peter
