I think you are right, a sunset looks far more like it. SunSETs are usually more colourful than sunrises, at least where I come from. I suppose the reason is that the day see a combination of sunlight and wind, drying up the topsoil and sending particles up into the lower atmosphere. Also, industry, road traffic and other polluters are most active during the day. When night comes, wind subsides, temperature drops, water in the air condensates and helps clean the air.

Imagine flying over such a landscape when taking off for a night mission! I wonder what Oleg manages to get out of London burning...
