Solar Theme Rail

The website follows the day across a quiet line in its header.

The model

A day that moves right to left.

Midnight enters from the right. The sun travels through dawn, reaches solar noon in the middle, crosses dusk on the left, and leaves at midnight before wrapping back to the right edge.
