As you can see from the photo above, much of the photo is dark, with just the areas where lights are lighting up.

During the day, everything has the same amount of light in the photo.

Now here is the exact location during the daytime and nighttime.

Here is not just an example of daytime and nighttime; this is how locations will take advantage and add colored lights to their water fountains at night.

During the daytime, they don’t even run the fountain as much. Not as dramatic. Now there was heavy overcast when this was shot early morning.

I hope you know why photographers like getting up before sunrise and shooting at sunset. Find a location like I did for these photos and shoot them in the daytime and then nighttime with your phone.
