Wednesday walk a short walk from the office 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,
Starting this month 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

A short walk from the office

For this weeks walk I went for a walk on a day where it was not so cold at lunchtime and decided to detour and get a few shots for this post prior to going and getting my lunch from a nearby Deli, The first thing I saw as I walked out of our office complex, was this bench with the cool shadows and grabbed a shot of it, which kind of follows on from Last weeks Wednesday Walk post which focused on benches in the city, but don;t worry this is the only bench in this post.
And this is also my entry for @elizacheng’s make me smile challenge getting out of the office and out for a Walk always makes me smile no matter what the weather is like

These are the Stairs going up to the Tudor City buildings, which I have shared some shots of in the past, but i decided to focus on this walk, on looking at the walkways and not the buildings.

Do';t these stairs and the cool brickwork make you want to walk up them, so off we go

Here we are half way up the stairs and I saw these falling leaves blown into the corner, the leaves and puddle were iced up and frozen, so I did a little bit of an artsy edit to hide the ice and make it look more beautiful and warm to me.

Now we are at the top of the stairs, looking back down.

II then crossed over Tudor City and went back down to 42nD Street when I saw these and thought OK they are not that photogenic but be something many people do not often see, these are big concrete blocks that the Police place when they need to close off a Street or area for some event going 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
I sponsored the following people, @steveconnor, @mers, @jerrytsuseer, @lundsten, @jcsteem, @almi, @redpossum, @karbon,

And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @keithboone

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.
