Just wondering what people think of Dawn/Dusk photos, in general.

To a certain point when you have trees or another object hiding the sun, but the light is still strong, you can get some pretty nice photos, I have always wanted to do a long exposure of a train during a sunset, but I can't find my tripod.

And then there are the dusk shots, with all the colors.

I really think that dawn/dusk photo's are very interesting and add a lot of interest to a picture. Something that may just look plain and flat in the bright sun may look awesome with just the right amount of light...such as the photo below...

I also have a few nighttime pix from when I was in Clinton, IA. I will get them up tonight!
