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

I did not get out for many photo walks this past week, but I did visit this little park to get some shots for this challenge, now all the shots are in this park on 44th Street and 2nd Ave and all the shots are in this one spot, but it is a 5 minute walk from my office building to this park, so in my mind it counts as a walk, but I also have it on good authority the host of this challenge AKA me, is pretty easy going and only has guidelines and not rules

It is a small little park tucked inbetwen the big buildings in the city, with a cool metalic sculpture as the centerpiece of the park

It was a cool and dreary day, and there were not many people in the park at the time I visited it, however the bike park here is pretty popular, but what I did wonder is, how does the person with the red bike on the right get his bike out if he wants to leave earlier than the blue or black bikes which are locked over the top of the red bike?

I did happen to have my 90mm Macro lens with me that day and although with the cloudy skies, there was not as much light as I would prefer for getting real macro shots I did snap a few photos of some details, including this rusty chain and lock on one of the bikes .
I know its just decay but i do like rusty details like this.

And a bit more rusty detail on this bell on another one of the bikes

and this park of course has more than the metal of the sculpture and bikes, there is also some green in the trees in the park, and here is a little detail on one of the trees.

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 all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. @leylar, @kamrunnahar, @fitinfun, @tali72, @tijntje,
all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk .
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @bigtom13,

As the Third Wednesday @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

Congrats to @annepink (SBI winner from me )

I will add the winners shortly we haven't had a chance to do the draw for make me smile yet, but it will be done soon

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.
