The image is a black and white photograph of an escalator in a subway station. The escalator is in the center of the image and is surrounded by other escalators on both sides. There are several people on the escalator, some of whom are walking up and down the stairs. The people are wearing backpacks and appear to be of different ages and genders. The floor is tiled and there are signs on the walls on either side of the escalators. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the people.
