Wednesday walk and Make me smile challenge collaboration results and Steem Basic Income Give away
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.
And if you are looking for another fun challenge, check out the Make Me Smilehosted by @elizacheng, coming soon we will be working to collaborate on occasionally on these challenges, 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
This weeks Wednesday Walk on Roosevelt Island
For this weeks walk (which I must admit the photos I am sharing are from more than a week ago, I did a lot of walking last week, but haven't got to edit them yet, but this does follow on from my Feel the fear and do it anyway post where I finally got the courage to ride the cable car across to Roosevelt Island, with the initial plan to turn around and ride it back, but I ended up deciding to do a walk around some of the island before making my way back to Manhattan, but first let me tell you a little about the island Roosevelt Island is a narrow island in New York City's East River. It lies between Manhattan Island to its west and the borough of Queens, on Long Island, to its east. IT runs from the from the equivalent of East 46th to 85th Streets on Manhattan Island, it is about 2 miles (3.2 km) long, with a maximum width of 800 feet (240 m), and a total area of 147 acres (0.59 km2)
And here is my first shot of that walk, just outside of the Cable car station there is a nice walkway along the island, on this part of the walk, there were some nice colors on the trees with the blossoms at that time.

This is a little further down the path where it changed to green trees, its a pleasant place for a stroll around the island, beside the east river, it was a nice day and a refreshing walk

And this is from the same spot as the previous shot, Looking back at where i had walked from and you can see the 59th Street bridge crossing to Manhtaan in the background

And a bit further down the path, I just liked the shadows of all the benches beside the walkway

Now I just realized as I am preparing this post the photos I edited for this post are all along that side of the island, but I did walk across and back down the other side, but I guess my favorite photos I took and hence edited for this post were all along that one pathway

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 by 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. @blueeyes8960, @jerrytsuseer, @farm-mom, @joalvarez, @oldtimer all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk.
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @johannpiber
As the Third Wednesday @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges You can find her latest makemesmile post here
We have three lucky winners. Congrats to @joelai (SBI winner from me )
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
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
