Capturing Twilight: your photographs
As the clocks go back for winter, BBC Radio 3 captures the magic of twilight
Capturing Twilight celebrates the music, art and literature that has been inspired by the glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon.
Here are some of the beautiful photographs you have shared with us of the bewitching time 'twixt night and day.
