The image is a black and white photograph of an escalator in a shopping mall. The escalator is in the center of the image and is facing towards the right side of the frame. It is made of metal and has a curved design with a glass railing on both sides. The background shows the interior of the mall with shelves and racks filled with various items. The floor is tiled and there are a few people visible in the background. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the escalator.
