This is from a landscape point of view; if you're looking for a portrait point of view, somebody else will have to answer. XD.
The best time to take photos is usually in early morning or late afternoon. This is when the shadows are most dramatic and you're going to get the best lighting. I'm not saying you have to wake up at the crack of dawn (though there are certainly benefits for doing so) but shooting before the sun is directly overhead is a lot more pleasing that shooting at noon. The same photo will look dramatically different and will have a larger depth of shadows and more interesting light. My favourite time to take photos is RIGHT before sunset, when the sky is just starting to get tinged with orange. It's a nice colouring and the light is very soft, but still dramatic.
