Nighttime close-up photograph of a small hedgehog walking along a rough, pebbled pavement. The camera is positioned at ground level, making the hedgehog appear large and detailed, its dense coat of short brown-and-cream spines sharply outlined against the dim light. Its tiny snout points toward a tall concrete wall on the right, where soft shadows fall. In the background, blurry street trees and a dark rectangular post with two red reflective bands are faintly illuminated by streetlights, adding depth to the scene. The sky above is a deep, moody blue typical of late evening. The photo has been edited with a vintage film-style frame: darkened corners, light leaks, and orange markings along the right edge that resemble numbers from old analogue film. The overall atmosphere feels quiet, intimate, and slightly cinematic, capturing a fleeting nighttime encounter with a wild hedgehog.

When I lived in Cuijk, I sometimes saw a hedgehog 🦔 near my apartment. This time, I got a decent snap. I edited it a bit and this was/is the result.

Edit: I zoomed in on the little one! I kept my distance... 😊 I was not coming this close as I didn't want to stress it out. Just so you know. 😇
