These are my attempts to record the progress of the sunset, my favourite time of day. However, I do not think that I could express my endeavour quite as well Borges does:
Music, states of happiness, mythology, faces belabored by time, certain twilights and certain places try to tell us something, or have said something we should not have missed, or are about to say something; this imminence of a revelation which does not occur is, perhaps, the aesthetic phenomenon.
-- Jorge Luis Borges, from the essay "The Wall and the Books"
The last image would have been much more beautiful had my camera been able to maintain both sport and night modes at the same time! Oh well! :-)

Everytime you put new photos I change my desktop wallpaper.

I love train journeys because they allow you to do just what you did. Nice captures of the progress.
