Christmas passes by sooo fast ... like the Christmas trees next to the horizontal escalator ...

--------------------

Travellator, moving carpet ... what is it really called? Between Amsterdam Schipol airport and the Schipol World Trade Center, also leading to Sheraton and Hilton and Schipol.

A personal #4 for me, but in a few days it will be #5, as I am headed for a personal high in the perspective challenge, doing over 6.6 at the moment ...

Happy New Year!

With more 9s and 10s than 1s, 2s and 3s together, I am content at hitting close to 6.1 with this shot.

I am holding my camera on the handrail of a travellator or moving sidewalk (I don't know what the proper name is), while passing two christmas trees. The black stripe in the lower left corner is the handrail, and all the lights are obviously ... lights from the christmas trees. Looking at the dots of the light makes me wonder whether this is the vibration of the handrail drive, into the camera, or whether long exposure pictures are actually a mix of a series of exposures? I have seen this before, and had it been with a film camera, I would not have been in doubt it was due to the vibration.

Balloon was picked up from the floor, as an airline obviously had been giving out balloons to their younger passengers.

Thank you for your scores, especially thank you to the person who gave me the 1 score - nice Christmas present!

The longer I look at this, the more I like it. Very subtle image.

Very energetic - I like the reflection on the curved red object (balloon?).
