Wednesday walk challenge - Walk to work 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.

My Walk to the office

I have been limiting my longer walks I normally do all over the place for the last week and will have to keep taking it easy for at least a couple of weeks so have not bene carrying my camera, but this morning I remembered I needed to get some shots for my Wednesday Walk post so took a few shots as I walked to the office from the train this morning.

All photos taken with my iPhone XS

When I get off the train each morning I walk into the main terminal of Grand Central and head up these escalators, they are not always this quiet, but I woke early and couldn’t sleep this morning so caught an early train in, well in actual fact I slept for about an hour last night then woke up at 11:30 ish and couldnt get back to sleep and at 4 Am I gave up trying and got up and ready to head into the city.

Grand Central has so many entrances and exits there is a seemingly endless way to get out of the station, until we moved offices a few weeks back I had never bene up these escalators now I use them almost every work day.

Once up the escalator I walk through the building and head to this exit

In NYC you often see steam rising from vents from under the streets this was no exception this morning walking down 45th Street and I thought it made for a cool shot.

I made my way down 45th Street and crossed 3RD Ave, stopping in the middle of the road to get this shot

I then cross over the street and headed into this little Deli, which I happen to do most work mornings if I am heading directly to the office and grab my Breakfast, this morning i got a Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese and Jelly.

Once i finish my Bagel which I eat in the Deli, and incase you wonder why I don’t take it and eat it in the office, in our new office we are on the ground floor and it is recommended not to eat food in the floor as if crumbs are dropped it may attract rodents, and there was signs of them here before we moved in, and although I would not freak out if I saw one i would prefer not to.

But back to my walk, after leaving the Deli I walk down to 2ND Ave, and nice Icross this street it just a few short steps and I am at my office.

So this is my short walk for this week

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
@denissemata, @steembake, @jerrytsuseer, @thekittygirl, @mhm-philippines, @enginewitty, @shasta, @denisechips, XXX all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk .

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

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.

Very interesting post! I like the photo that you took in the middle of the street. Looks like you were there way before it got busy for the day! We even had steam rising out of our water/rain runoffs in our streets in my neighborhood this morning as it was actually 27 degrees F this morning in Allen, TX. I only know because I drove my niece to work right around sunrise!

Thats about the temp I will have tomorrow morning when I catch my train at 5AM, most days I see the sunrise from the train

so I get to the city early and can get street shots like the middle of the street one, before the streets get to busy

thanks for your visit and support.

Maybe I will aim to do this wed walk next week. We have some lovely footpaths and great walks round my new area here in England. Yet, each day there seems to be more to do to get the house going, another service to order, more things to buy, etc etc...
This does look like a fun walk to work you have here. I am also excited to get my first week back in London as well, as I can't wait to walk around my favourite city again!

London is also such an amazing city I really enjoyed my walks there, good luck getting everything steeled from experience i know how it never seems to end

Oh, you take me on the best walks! I love the steam coming up. When we were younger, we used to stand on them like homeless people, warming up when it got bitter cold and the wind was howling.

I hope you are dressing up warm for that walk. I think tomorrow is snow! Yikes! You may just get some. I know we might!

Your cell phone took awesome pictures, JJ! The steem shot is my favorite with the guy running but, any one of them is a winner to me!

Ohh YesI have the layers it and keeping warm :) getting sensible with age LOL

The Steam shot was my favorite as well, quite happy with what the phone can do, now I just need to think and get shots for myFriday post :)
Yes snow tomorrow, now there saying just an inch last night i almost screamed when I saw on my app they were saying 3 to 6 inches far to early for that
Thanks for the tip :)

They said 2 for us! We don't even get that on a good winter day! Now it looks like maybe 1/2 inch, maybe none.

Commuting will be hell tomorrow! Let's just call the whole things off!

I wondered what your walk to work looked
like after the train ride, wow!! Very impressive
buildings, like glassy steel cliffs forth photo down.
What kind of jelly on the bagel? :-)
