Ants.

Birmingham shopping centre in the Bullring.

We were all slightly amazed at the amount of people in the city centre yesterday....all these folk going up & down the escalators...busy, busy, busy!

Nicely balanced shot but, no disrespect, looks like my idea of a nightmare!

[Al Bailey]

I am glad I wasn't there! great shot of the "ants" :)

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze @willowdragon We thought that too....there was another layer here too but I couldn't fit the height in!!

[Alison Tomlin]

Crikey are people Christmas shopping already? Great lines and symmetries.

[Judith Greenwood]

Cool shot!! Rachel says they have security guards organising queues for the escalators 'when it gets busy'!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg There were security guards everywhere ...we were very out of our comfort zone I can tell you!!

[Lesley Knowles]

Oh blimey that looks busy! Makes New Zealand malls look desolate! It doesn't even get this busy in NZ at Christmas! I know which I prefer!

[Tamzin]

Oh my goodness - that's heaving. The Bullring looks a it different to last time I went there (which was over 20 years ago!)

[Tamzin]

Bit, not it!

[Anne Mary]

Great shot! Like others- not my idea of fun

[Phil Howcroft]

fab in monochrome...what do they all buy !

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft I can't go into it here, but all things in the streets around this area!!

[Christine]

That looks so busy. Good capture

[Rick Schies]

Holy cow! I would hope it is not like that all the time. I would never go shopping

[Gillian]

All those people!! No thanks! Great shot, tho - nice b&w treatment too!

[Sue Wilde]

You are so right. They are ants

[Wendy]

Very busy place to be. Great composition the way you framed the escalator.

[Diana Moss]

Imagine what it will be like near Christmas !

[Juliette Packham]

it's a great shot Pat - my goodness how many people? I would've said it's Oxford Circus on the lead up to Christmas!
