Wednesday Walk on The Highline

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.

Wednesday walk challenge and Steem Basic Income Give away

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.

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 it this week 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

New from this week

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 will share shots from a walk I did on the Highline Park in NYC.

I revisited the Highline a cool Park in NYC, that is built on the old train Tracks in the Meat Packing District of NYC, What caught my eye early on in the walk was like many other parks in NYC it has a good selection of Benches for those who need to take a break on the walk, which I think is a great idea.

THis first one I took the shot from this angle as I could picture someome skateboarding or cycling along and decided to try and go up and jump from this ramp.

This one is good if you want to not just sit, but feel the need to lay back and put your feet up.

For those who may consider going up the ramp at speed, be warned it may not be a good idea that arm rest could really catch you unexpectedly.

Another style of Chair, I thought this one was very cool and was almost my favorite, until.

I saw this one curving as the path curves and seeming to go on forever.

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
@mhm-philippines, @kimbygrr, @denissemata, @rebeccabe, @deadgrlsuppastar, @violetmed,

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.

@mhm-philippines I am just plain old me nothing special :)

Not easy getting pictures without people in them. Good job.

@manorvillemike I got their at just after 7Am the park just opened so it was quiet ;)

the infinity bench! I like it. The Highline park is really cool. I don't get to NYC any more but used to visit a few times a year. Things like this make it a special city. So much to see and so much going on.

@steven-patrick Yesas Much as I hate it for the crowds and Concrete Jungle the city does have such interesting parks for sure
