(For some more details, see also [1].) The bright boiling granules (comprising most of the image) show photosphere convection. There's also the inward movement of the tips of penumbral filaments (which surround the dark sunspot cores), though the material in them flows outwards ([2]). Note how granules get deformed in constrained areas before the two major sunspots.
All this can be seen in a "somewhat" higher resolution on time lapses from professional telescopes, e.g., [3] (from the 1 m diameter Swedish Solar Telescope).
