Landscapes almost always look better when taken in the 'magic hour' - the hour after dawn, or the hour before sunset. The shadows give a much better sense of depth and perspective, and the photo just looks warmer.

Seems a bit odd - I mean, I suppose it has something to do with the sun getting onto the lens, but I don't see what the flash does to help that. -- Paul.
