Those sure are aptly named, Jim—pumpkin colored! Nice.

Always impressive to see the slopes...
be it upwards
or, even more so, when looking down:
different angle to show the tracks falling into nowhere, to the right:

Nice photographs, Roland. I rode that train once.
Haha, Bingo, and fast 
explanation:
I made a little quiz out of this post, for myself. About every time I post images from a Swiss holiday location, it is about 100% sure someone has already been there, and esp. you guy from the other side of the pond. So I say to myself: who is it, this time, and how long does it take him/her to spot my post? Maybe Jim? As you post in this CS, about half a day?
Wrong I was - but only with time. About 15 minutes...

You've got us figured out. But you happen to live in a very popular country for foreign tourists.
The day my wife and I rode that train was an interesting one, and gave me new respect for the Swiss transportation system. We were lodging in Meiringen and had taken the train to Lucerne, then boarded a boat to travel up the lake to the Rigi Bahn landing. When the conductor on the boat asked for our ticket my wife realized that she had left our Swiss Pass on the seat of the train. We contacted the executive officer on the boat who made some phone calls and returned to say, yes, the Swiss pass had been found and the train conductor would have it for us when we boarded the return train in the evening. He then presented us with a temporary pass for the day which included the ride on the Rigi Bahn.
We had barely gotten into our seats on the train back to Meiringen that evening when the conductor approached and handed us our Swiss passes.
I was very impressed!

Thanks, Walter. I found these up the road about 200 meters from our house.
I'm sure he was, but this thread is for photos made since last Wednesday midnight. Is Duncan still with you?
That is the text book example of the affinity of blue and orange! BRAVO, Tony. And so 3D too.
That's an IMPRESSIVE photo!! Well done! PS....What sort of filter system do you use to be able to stack that many filters?
That's a "Wow!" pic. It needs a wall now.
Nice pics Roland. I'm also impressed by your clear blue skies.
I haven't come across one of those before Terri. I hope West's dog wasn't involved.
I always find falcons impressive. And falconry, come to that:
