No matter where you live, the sun rises and sets.

Dawn to Dark Photographs: The Magic of Light tells this lush story through the work of National Geographic's best visual storytellers. -McPherson Sentinel

From peaceful lakes and broad landscapes, to Muslim pilgrims gathering to pray, U.S. Army soldiers on patrol and a crowded New York City sidewalk on a rainy day and myriad locations and scenes in between, the photographers of National Geographic share different shades of light in stunning images from around the world. -Deseret News
