Wednesday walk challenge - Port Authority Bus terminal 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.

UPDATE: In addition to the SBI Shares I send out each week @elizacheng has kindly offered to sponsor one SBI Share a week to one of the entrants so that will be starting from this week

And for this weeks walk I decided to do a little walk around the Port Authority Bus terminal, the main reason being we had a cold spell last week and the morning I took these photos it was colder out than I expected and I didn't have the right layers on and it was too cold to do a walk around the streets.

This is a shot of the terminal itself from the Street, as you can see even at 7AM or there abouts, and this area is already getting pretty busy.

It may not look like that much of a building, but then again it is a bus terminal and a busy one at that Around 8,000 buses and 225,000 travelers pass through this terminal each day.

So now lets head inside, now I almost didn't go in, and just after taking this first shot I took a misstep and twisted my ankle badly, however, me being me, I thought I could walk off the pain so headed into the terminal.

Now I generally avoid getting shots of people in places, but in this case I thought at least one shot was needed to show how busy it is even in the early morning.

I guess if the queues for tickets get so long, the passengers could feel like they have turned to stone, this is one of the art pieces in the terminal.

This is one of the Sing for Hope Pianos, in the terminal, I believe anyone can take a seat and play it, and I must say this person seemed to really know what she was doing, I do not know what piece she was playing but I really liked it.

The Sing for Hope Piano project is something that happens each year in NYC and the pianos are placed all around the city, I didn't see many of them this year but next year I must make it a project to find more of them

And finishing off with another of the Sing for Hope Pianos in the terminal, this one seems to be in a more restrcited area and may be for set performances ofr somehting I really am not sure

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
@dswigle, @elizacheng, @jeffjagoe, @allyinspirit, @trudeehunter, @julieabbi2, @old-guy-photos, @bashadow, @jacey.boldart,

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.
