In aviation terms "day" is defined as the period from 15 minutes before sunrise to 15 minutes after sunset, and "night" is therefore conversely the period up to 15 minutes before sunrise and from 15 minutes after sunset.
The pic Dave took below is at sunrise at Virginia Airport.. you can just see the little runway lights visible in the dark in front of the bushes that separate the airfield from the beach. Dave obtained his night-rating last year and has enjoyed some spectacular flights over Durban at night.
