Shop Till You Drop

Wow has this month ever been super busy. Yesterday I did take some pictures but we did not get home until later in the evening after we had supper with some friends. I was so tired that I went straight to bed when I got home so I am posting yesterday's photo today.
This was taken in West Edmonton Mall. (note to self: avoid the mall on a Saturday in December) When I saw all these shoppers sitting around the statue I had to go up to the second level and walk back to get this shot from this view.
I think this gives true meaning to shop till you drop
Well we are off to a Christmas Banquet at our church tonight so I will be back later tonight to post a something for today

This is so interesting! The shape of the round bench, the statue, and the reflections are great. Nice POV.

[Shanne]

like the statue in the middle too - sure you couldn't tag it with a heroes theme too?

[Mrs. Smith]

haha! I also follow that note...but I did go to the mall yesterday, but I was there in the morning to beat the rush! It wasn't too crowded.

[Brian Baptie]

Great perspective!!

[Amy]

I love your note to self. :) When I shop, I start early and leave by noon. I hate crowds.

[karenann]

Love this. Great eye for catching that phrase, shop till you drop . . and you got the perfect photo.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

haha it looks like everyone is worn out, fabulous shot.

[Mary]

What a great prospective of the crowd!

[mag]

nice shot ...the design of the tiles adds to the feeling of motion

[Courtney]

What a neat scene and great composition. The lines and the circle in the middle are wonderful!

[Mary Lou]

looks like a lot of tired people:)

[Bob G]

Like the way you captured the spirit of shopping!

[Kerri]

Great perspective

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot- I think you've definitely captured the ridiculous shopping frenzy so many put themselves through! Love the perspective and the circular composition! Loved your "note to self" insert too!

[Carolyn White]

Awesome capture, Brian! Great perspective! I dread the Christmas crowds!

[Laurie Higgins]

Clever idea for a photo! I love your POV in this one. And your title is perfect. I make it a point of pride to avoid the mall at all costs, but obviously I'm missing some great photo ops.

[Paula]

OMG you are so brave to hit West Ed on a Saturday in December. You could not pay me enough to do that! Great pov here.

@pwallis Thanks. I actually went there because Sears had a large banner that is being sent to the troops in Afghanistan for Christmas. I went there to sign that and get a picture which I will try to post this week

[bkb in the city]

@lauriehiggins Well I really don't like shopping but this mall does provide great photo ops for sure
