EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Edgard Garrido, we witness an extraordinary moment between a man and a squirrel in the bustling streets of Mexico City. The image showcases the unique bond that can form between humans and wildlife even in urban environments. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the curious squirrel, standing on its hind legs as it boldly sniffs at the feet of an unrecognizable man. This unexpected encounter displays both courage and curiosity from both parties involved. The composition of the photograph adds to its intrigue, with the silhouette of the man against a backdrop of paving tiles and stairs. The contrast between nature and urbanity is strikingly evident here, reminding us that wildlife can adapt to any environment if given a chance. As we observe this peculiar scene, we are reminded of how interconnected our world truly is. Despite living in concrete jungles like Mexico City, wild animals such as squirrels continue to coexist alongside humans, finding creative ways to navigate their surroundings. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder for us all to appreciate and respect nature's presence within our daily lives. It encourages us to pause for a moment amidst our busy routines and marvel at these small yet significant interactions that remind us of our place within the natural world.
