I am surprised no one has yet commented on your photos. In my opinion, #2 is stunning. The rails lit by the fading sunlight themselves fading into the horizon is dramatic. Excellent in my view. #1 is also very good, but I am struck by #2.
Sigh! Beautiful shots. I used to live in Texas and miss it because of the drama that these photos depict. But I don’t miss the heat, humidity, tornadoes, hail, politics. . . .
