Stunning sunsets and sunrises from around the world

Widely considered the most beautiful times of day, sunset and sunrise are also probably the most difficult to photograph. Capturing the right composition of light and camera settings while racing against the movements of the sun can be an unforgiving enterprise, but, if you get it right, the results are often spectacular.

Here are some of our favourite shots.
