Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say 5 Blocks, 5 Minutes walk or whatever and see what you can find in that short distance

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all.

Following me and resteeming the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion, but you may have a better chance of receiving a Steem Basic Income Share if you do.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, resteem and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending @steembasicincomeshares to a selection of those who participate.

Make me Smile Collaboration

As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the Make Me Smile hosted by @elizacheng,
Starting now with this post, on the third Wednesday of the month out two challenges will collaborate so if you combine the two into one post you have double the fun

Here are the rules for her challenge

Your post can be writing, singing, video, poem,drawing, photography etc.... the most important part is your post Make me" smile, Remember, the ME is whoever read/view/listen to your post and this includes YOURSELF.
b. Your content must be ORIGINAL CONTENT
c. Please include at least 50 Words in your post

So the collaboration giveaway is as follows
As well as the SBI shares normally given away from the Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenge, we will send one SBI Share each to one lucky winner who joins both challenges in one post

And now for this weeks walk post photos

The first shot is looking across the Harlem Meer, the building in the photo is the Dana A Discovery Centre, which is an Environmental Center, the offers a wide variety of free education and community programs, seasonal exhibits, and holiday celebrations.

This next shot is walkiing one of the trails by the Harlem Meer and I decided to slip a mono shot into this post.

Now I will admit even though I did a few walks last week, these shots are actually from a couple of weeks ago as I haven't had the time or energy to do any photo editing this week.

And another shot looking over the water

I do love walking in Central Park inthe early morning, often you have the pathways to yourself as you can see in this shot

And another shot of the Meer itself, I do love this area and do not visit it as much as I would like as it is a long way from the office, when I visit there I normally get off the train at the 125th Street Station and walk to 100th Street where the park starts and then walk around it and through the park.

I know my last few Wednesday Walk posts including this one have been in Central Park, I promise to try and get my act together and share a walk somewhere else next week.

And back to the Meer, this spot even has a small sandy beach like feature which this dog was enjoying

And one last shot just to show how lovelt the greens were that mornign after earlier rain, not the greatest of shotsI guess but I love the greens, and the open areas like this that are spread throughout the park.

Steem Basic Income give away

I mentioned in the guidelines that from this week I will be sponsoring a few who join the #wednesdaywalk challenge with shares on Steem Basic Income

What is Steem Basic Income you may ask well here is how they explain it

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. so I have decided to send some Steem Basic Income shares to 5 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk to @shasta, @tali72, @joanstewart, @sketch.and.jam, @shaunf, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @sunikr,

I would love to be able to give everyone who joins a Steem Basic Income share, but I don't make enough steem each week to do so, but I will try and share them around fairly between those that join the challenge

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
