Warning: the following images are likely to result in a serious case of holiday envy.

French photographer Julien Grondin has spent the last few years travelling the world to capture beautiful shots of sunrise and sunset on his trusty Canon 5D camera.

Grondin, who is known as Beboy, began his trip in 2013 by exploring the east and west coasts of the US, before going on to take photos of the sun rising and setting everywhere from the lavender fields of Provence in France to the temples of Angkor Wait, Cambodia.

The 35 year old said: "I visited many countries to live my passion for photography, especially to capture light at both dawn and dusk when the sun is more likely to hit straight into my camera lens and create unique backlit shots.

"What I love the most about sunrise and sunset shots is to capture something that a lot of photographers try to avoid: putting the sun directly into the frame.

To properly expose a photo in this kind of situation could be very challenging, but if you manage to get the right angle, the contrast of the light on elements like rocks, plants and trees is really quite spectacular."
