  Aren't we all and don't we all (LOL)!! Terrific perspective on probably a daily occurrence in our lives, and I must be getting old as I usually let the escalator do its job :-)!! Well done, my friend!!
Much Aloha,
Stan

  A man after my own heart, I too find escalators too slow - there are so many photos to take, so little time....LOL
Love this unique image Mary - very well done.

  I usually run up them, in lieu of a workout (better than the stairmaster, at least you're getting somewhere;). This one looks like a winner to me, Mary, with your wonderful perspective and composition, and that absolutely gorgeous shadow pattern!! Love your poetry too!;-)
