 "Let there be light" is an English translation of the Hebrew יְהִי אוֹר (yehiy 'or). Other translations of the same phrase include the Latin phrase fiat lux, and the Greek phrase γενηθήτω φῶς (or genēthētō phōs). The phrase is often used for its metaphorical meaning of dispelling ignorance.
The phrase comes from the third verse of the Book of Genesis. In the King James Bible, it reads, in context:
1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 - And God saw the light, and it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

Nice concept, well executed. Great color in the sunrise, and nice constrast against the ground, which is lit just enough by the lightening sky.

This is a picture of a sunset. Genesis?
A bit of a stretch, I think.
