Riding the new escalator up from Paradise Street into the Liverpool 1 shopping complex.

Very cool! Love the color. I think that the escalators are one of the most photographic ideas. I have been taking many of them (none this good, though).

@Nataly: Thanks Nataly!
Yes, I agree about the escalators. It's surprising how photogenic they can be although I wasn't expecting this one to come out as well as this. The colours were a nice surprise.

I've seen many elevator shots in many places but this is one of the most original amongst all of them, great work.

Great motion effect. I did the same thing, but with my cell phone. My result was probably not worth sharing, but it does create a terrific look.
