Wednesday walk challenge and Steem Basic Income Give away

Before I get into my Wednesday Walk Post let me remind people today is SPUD ( Steem Power Up Day) Started by @streetstyle and you can see his latest post about it and the prizes here (https://steempeak.com/spud/@streetstyle/24-hours-left-before-spud4-becomes-official-a-call-to-all-steemians-steempower-blockchain#@streetstyle/pvgrak) show your support for steem and Power up today which I will be doing shortly

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.

Actifit

A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is @actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.

If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out

This weeks walk in Battery Park

I am sure this first shot of a piece of art gets many a chuckle from people that see it

And this is the New york Koren War veterans memorial

This monument honors military personnel who served in the Korean War (1950-1953). The memorial, dedicated in 1991, was designed by Welsh-born artist Mac Adams and is notable as one of the first Korean War memorials erected in the United States.

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 to, @bluemoon, @owasco, @ladyyunajay, @jerrytsuseer, @sgbonus, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @olga.maslievich,

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.

Yes, I did think it was something else, but not what you are probably thinking. I thought they were cannonballs since it is Battery Park! I was thinking historically about the fort that was there.

Well. Am glad to say it was not only me thinking that from other comments LOl

But your Cannonball idea makes a lot of sense with the location I had not thought about that

Lol, it seems like you are in good company based on the other comments.

How funny! I thought cannon balls too until i clicked on the post!

Yes it does seem that way LOL

Most welcome fir the SBI I just saw your walk post thanks again

I wanted to participate, it is a challenge that fits very well with what I like to do, you had a great idea!

I love walking as you may have noticed especially since my knees do not like me running anymore so I walk a lot so its was a natural challenge for me to start :)

I know you love walking and I think it's a good exercise for your knee.

Yes if I slacken off fir a few days I start to feel it in my knees so that keeps me motivated

Oh dang, I powered up my STEEM a day too early. I might have won some prices. That is a bummer! Nice shots! I need to dig through some of my recent shots and see if I can put together a post for today.

I suspect Yu like me don’t meet the criteria to win prizes but its a cool idea

First photo no wonder people don't know what to make of them, they may be boobs or eyes, who knows?

Stunning photography on the eagle, what material was used in that sculptor?

Both areas of remembrance nicely photographed, lovely walk with you today.

Thanks Kindly as for the eyes I think the artist probably titled it eyes or it may have not been displayed in a public place like this LOL
I will have to look up what the eagle was made of as I do now know off hand
