Finalist, “Animals”

This underpass runs under one of the main roads in my home city of Genoa, Italy. It’s close to a stream, which makes it rather humid. As a result, it has been colonised by toads, who find abundant prey here. It’s a remarkable demonstration of the resilience of these animals, who manage to find enough to sustain them in the urban environment. The tunnel is close to where I live, so I headed out one autumn evening to photograph them.
