Wednesday walk 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.

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 you 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.

For this week's Walk, I am going with some totally random things I saw on a walk from the train Station to my Office. I will be honets these were last week, I havent been up to walking much this week so I went with these shots, but they were taken last wednesday so within the last week :)

The streets of NYC are full of color and things to see, even simple things like free Newspaper boxes and rubbish bins can be colorful and eye-catching. NYC is great for Recycling seeing three bins one for normal trash and two for recycling is common all over the city.

I have often shared shots of Graffiti in the city, but tagging with stickers is also something you see a lot of in the city.
Now I am not sure tagging with stickers is the right term but I have no idea how else to describe them LOL.
But I guess I am right to a degree, in that there is tagging with some graffitti lettering ads well as sticker son this which is a box where you can make emergency calls,

At least that's what I understand them to have originally have been, but I do not think they work anymore, I guess with almost everyone having cell phones these days these boxes are not needed.

Next up I share this big plastic thing they use to block off parts of the road when there is construction or Roadworks going on, I sometimes think of them as witches hats on Steroids,
Yeah I know I am weird like that.

Why this one caught my eye is most of these are an orange color this one has faded to different shades and some pink tones.

In the background are the fire connection standpipes which are also all over the city.

And speaking of Fire Hydrants, let me stick with this theme for another shot of to, these are somehting you notice on the side of may buildings in NYC a Fire Department connection.

And Lastly for this weeks walk, a simple fire hydrant, where someone had disconnected the cover and opened the tap a little, as you can see water is draining from the Hydrant

Often you see Fireman along street sand opening up the firehydrants to check the water is flowing well and ready if ever needed, but in this casethere was no fireman in sight so I wonder if someone else haddone it for some reason.

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 I sponsored the following people
@shaunf, @mo-nique, @princessmewmew, @molometer, @nikolina, @bluemoon, @tonygreene113,

All people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk, 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.
