Nightfall(NYT-fawl)

Quick Detail: The moment when day gives way to darkness.

Definition: Nightfall marks the quiet shift between fading light and the rise of evening. Colors drain from the landscape, leaving outlines that soften into shadow. The air cools, carrying a sense of both rest and anticipation. It is a threshold moment, when familiar places take on deeper tones and distant sounds seem to travel farther. The word embodies the calm descent into the mysteries of the night.
