Lots of 'mechanical' action in this Alan. I'm reminded of Kraftwerk! Great range of tones :)

Thank you! The escalators here seemed very randomly placed, it made for some interesting angles and tones.

Nice view, good the choice of the black and white. Regards from Varese, Italy, Marco.

Thank you Marco De Candido! From that height, the movement of the escalators was quite dizzying!

Esthetism of this shot is absolute, but if you think... our world is frightening

Thank you Annick Restle! I agree, when I converted this shot into b&w a strong Orwellian/1984 atmosphere emerged.

Great shot, Alan. This is the type of photo I really love to see!

Thank you Smiley4554! From this height the escalators looked as if they were taken from an M. C. Escher painting :-)

I know! My daughter actually collects these types of poster prints! And, yours is every bit as good as those she collects! I've sent her your link to your photos. Told her about it last night! I feel like a rank amateur! :)

Yes - I see the Escher in it too... Did you read Godel, Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid - Douglas Hofstadter?

Thank you Smiley and Highton-ridley! I've not read that book but I had a look on Amazon, it looks very interesting :-)

Alan, I'm going through my "favs", and I had to mark this one. My daughter collects these types of photos in poster form, and it's right up her alley!
