Rate This Answer

Night is a time of the unseen. People fear the night, because of the absence of light. It is an ominous time awakening human fears of the unknown. In the daylight, people are more serene, know what to expect, and awake. Night is a time of quiet & rest, but at the same time unrest in waking hours. People tend to stay inside, and keep to themselves to avoid danger. This helps to enhance the scene and bring these points to light.
