View of The Alps from the Schynige Platte Railway.
The Schynige Platte Railway commences from Wilderswil station at an altitude of 584 m (1,916 ft), where it connects with the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge line of the Berner Oberland Bahn (BOB), which operates to Interlaken Ost, Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. Wilderswil is within the built-up area around Interlaken.
The historic Schynige Platte Railway runs over the Breitlauenen Alp to the Schynige Platte.
The railway reaches a height of 1,967 metres (6,453 ft) at the terminus station, on the south-facing slopes of Geiss summit.
The Schynige Platte Railway is built to 800 mm gauge (2 ft 7 1⁄2 in gauge) and is electrified using a 1500 V DC overhead supply. It is a rack railway, using the Riggenbach rack with a maximum gradient of 25% (1 in 4).
The upper section of the route, between Breitlauenen and the summit, is subject to heavy winter snowfall and occasional avalanches so the overhead catenary on this section is dismantled after the last train of the year, and reinstated before the first train of the next year can run. The process of removal or replacement normally takes a team of six employees a day to complete, and employs the line's one remaining steam locomotive.
The line provides some 15 return services per day, with services every 40 minutes and a journey time of 52 minutes. Any given service may be operated by a convoy of more than one train, with each train usually comprising an electric rack locomotive and two coaches. The locomotive always operates at the lower end of the train, pushing the train up the mountain and leading it down.

Taken for weekly photochallenge... using a gradient map adjustment layer for toning (colour). Some interesting effects; but not wholly convinced I'll be using it a lot. Still, useful tool to have available!
kawagoe, japan;
the sunshine looks warm, but my fingers were almost frozen the chilly wind while taking this...

Shadow effect created with a light bar made with nine hand-colored white LEDs. The LED optics have been modified to produce a harder edge to the shadows.
inspired by my sketchbook page, Angie's Garden (in my Amber book) - used up leftover paint on the right side, then mimicked the gradient with gelatos on the left
