Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the phenomenon of night — the time of day when the sun sets below the horizon and daylight gives way to darkness. If you are interested in photographs of the nighttime, you will enter a diverse world of natural and artificial elements associated with this unique period of time.

Night is defined by astronomical and physical characteristics, including the full or partial setting of the sun, the appearance of the moon and stars, as well as the change in natural lighting. During this period, air temperature decreases, and the behavior of plants and animals changes. Nighttime may be accompanied by various atmospheric phenomena such as fog, dew, or nocturnal clouds.

The night environment is diverse: ranging from city streets with artificial lighting to open natural spaces — forests, fields, bodies of water, and mountain slopes. Visibility of the landscape changes at night, nocturnal animal activity is observed, and natural sounds shift. Depending on the season and geographical location, the duration and characteristics of the night vary significantly: in winter it can be long and enduring, while in summer it is short and replaced by dawn.

Night represents a natural cycle of day and is closely linked to the biorhythms of living organisms. Its observation is possible in various climatic and natural zones, making the night image collection unique and rich in diversity of subjects — from starry skies to cityscapes lit by street lamps or dark forest trails.
