Wednesday walk Challenge and make me smile Challenge
Wednesday walk and Make me Smile challenge 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.
And as it is the third Wednesday of the month this week myself and @elizacheng and collaborating and working together on this weeks challenge so the Steembasic Income Share give away will be slightly different this week. as I will explain below.

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.
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
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
My Wednesday Walk - Around the Hotchkiss bridge
I have shared some shots of the Hotchkiss Bridge in Milford before and for this weeks post, I will share some shots walking around and over the Bridge.
in the first photo I am about to walk onto the bridge, I guess the thing in the middle is to stop vehicles from driving over this footbridge, which does make me wonder did someone try to drive over the bridge at some stage?
And the fact that the idea of someone being foolish enough to drive over the bridge and the fact that this walk was the first time I had got out with my camera for a while both things that made me smile, this is my entry to the Make Me Smile challenge

Here we are on the bridge looking downstream at the Lisman Landing Marina which looks kind of sad so deserted at this time of year.

And the same area from another angle on the bridge this one I went with black and white

And I thought this post would not be complete without a shot showing the whole Hotchkiss Bridge, which also shows my walk was more than just on the bridge, I actually walked about 4 miles on the walk where I got these shots

And finishing off this post back looking over the bridge, now you may think I walked from day to night, but this was actually taken during daylight hours like the other shots and the lights on the bridge were not actually turned on, but I thought this is how they would have looked like if they had been on.
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 randomly send some Steem to add shares for some of my followers so on the weekend
all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk @bashadow, @fitinfun, @vickaboleyn, @violetmed, @ellenripley,
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @bozz,
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.

Want to have your post on the map too?
I sent you 5 STEEM to add to the prize for SBI shares..
Thanks so Much so Kind of you I truly appreciate the support :)
the bridge is very interesting! it ends right in the middle of the water. why? Do boats usually have to stand there or is the bridge broken?

Looks can be deceiving it crossed right over but with the arch it looks like only half a bridge :)
Thanks for your visit ;)
Great contest! To my regret, because of pneumonia, which knocked me down after walking through the marshes)) and for a week now does not allow me to leave the house, I cannot participate. Already two Wednesdays passed by me. Your photos are excellent in all variants!
Sorry to hear you have Pnuemonia, Having had it a few times I know how that knocks you down, take care of yourself
Hope you are feeling better soon
and thanks :)
Thanks for the share! That is a really cool looking bridge. It reminds me of the tridge over by where I grew up.
I used to live right near this bridge and would walk over it many times a week, I still love it and often visit this area
Sounds like a fantastic walk!
It sure is I love walking all around this area
