Glacier Express - what a view! - a photo on Flickriver

            Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated! Press "L" for better view and "F" if you like it!

The Glacier Express crosses the Swiss Alps in the East-West direction. Here it is descending the Oberalp Pass high above Andermatt.

I took a single shot with a point and shoot Sony DSC-W1 in 2008. I now HDR processed it twice, first to enhance the micro-contrast, then a second time for the colors. To give the image an old style look I finally reduced the color saturation by more than half for all but the red train. What do you think?
