Wednesday walk challenge East River Roundabout 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.
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
The East River Esplanade
Now I am not sure exactly what this area is called where i took a walk recently, on google Maps its called the East River Esplanade and Andrew Haswell Green Park, but I also saw a Sign calling it the East River Rondabout.
This was a walk a took one day I believe after Lunch and stretching my legs.
As you can see from this first shot Its a nice walkway that goes a good distance alongside the East River on the Manhattan side of the river

This next shot is heading up a Walkway/ramp heading to a bridge where you can walk over the DFR Highway.

And this shot is at the end of the ramp in the previous shot looking back down at the park and pathways

Now I know these photos focus on a small area of my walk and you may think it was a short walk, but it was a good walk from the office to the deli where I had lunch, then to this park and then back to my office
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. @dronegraphica, @rosargelisperez, @bigtom13, @almi, @jayna, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to denissemata,
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.
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Thanks for the resteem appreciated
On most of your walks, the weather looks fabulous.
Pedestrian bridges, we have a couple of them, even though we live in a very rural area.
Classic country bridge!

Trust me the weather isnt always that nice i just go for most of my walks on nice days and as for the pedestrian Bridge thats more the style I was used to growing up :)
Best comment I have seen in a while. I am surprised someone made it flat and did not just leave it round. LoL.

Beautiful and under used? In Manhattan? Really? Is there toxic waste or anything involved with that?
Thanks for a terrific and unexpected walk. My Wednesday Walk may show itself on Thursday because I haven't taken it yet. I have plans for a 'different' sort of walk today and I'll post it, but it might not make it for a day...
And thank you for the SBI share. I really do appreciate it.
Firstly no worries if your walk post is tomorrow 👍😎
I think this spot is fairly new and out if the way so not very well known by many hence so quiet there
Always like seeing your walks along that waterfront such a beautiful area to be doing your walks !!
Thanks I am lucky to have such lovely areas for walking close to walk :)
It does make you feel happier to go to work having sceneries like that close by !!
Looks like a beautiful day! Where the heck were all the people though? Or is that normally a quiet spot? You don't often see pics of NY with so few people around, but I like it. 😉

Thanks and this is an out of the way spot I guess not many people know about it and hence why it is so quiet there even in the middle of the day
Well sounds like my kind of spot then. ;)
And mine i love quiet spots ;)
Great shots! I will never understand how you get so many shots with so few people in them. Especially in NYC. You are either very lucky or very good at editing them out :)
Thanks, Often the reason why there is not many people is that most of my walks are early morning while many are just thinking about getting up
I must do a walk during a busier time to get people in shots sometime ;)
Very nice photos with lots of details! Your new lens is working out well!
Thanks Kindly have a great day
