The basic idea is that you want to create a link to the new directory in
the place that the old directory was.  For example, you might do
something like this:

mv shop/even/more/images .
ln -s ../../../images shop/even/more

Sorry but I still don't get it

Your mv line will move everything in shop/even/more/images into where
(to root I guess)
Then your ls line will list what?
And how is that going to link stuff?
