Whether a sunrise or a sunset, or the sun peeping out of some storm clouds, the presence of this light in contrast with its surroundings often has a beautiful effect.  Here are some examples of times the sun truly multiplied the beauty of Missouri.  Enjoy!

I tried to choose photos where the sun itself was bright and/or prominent and not just in the background.  If you enjoy sun shots, there are tons of sunrise and sunset pictures of Missouri caught on film, because these images are so amazingly beautiful with the natural backdrops available in this state.  What are some of your favorites?  Share in the comments below.
