I wonder if there's some kind of instinctual urge in the minds of battlefield photographers that is triggered by sunsets that drives them to take photos of guns/monuments/fences/dirt like Ken Burns is taking submissions.

Can't speak for everyone but for me I just see it as a different perspective of the same shot during the day. There are times that a silhouette is much more dramatic that a shot at high noon. I used to tell beginning photographers that some people look through a camera and see a picture while others see a picture and then use the camera to capture it. Or as Ansel Adams said " Sometimes I arrive just as God is ready to have someone click the shutter".
