Wednesday walk challenge Bryant Park and Steem Basic Income Give away

I

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 walk in Bryant Park

For this weeks walk I took a cool walk around Bryant Park, which is between 5th and 6th Ave and 42 and 43rd streets in Manhattan

I walked from Grand Central up to Bryant Park and this is the entrance I took into the Park, as you can see it was pretty deserted, the chilly temperatures no doubt stopping many from considering a walk in the park, before Christmas I shared a shot in this same spot and the area was full with little huts that they put up each year where they sell all kinds of cool things, as you can see they had taken them down.

I did see a bunch of people in this shot, the workers dismantling the Winter village and ice skating rink, soon it will be back to the warm large green that it is for all but the winter months

I did mention it was a bit chilly, and I got this shot to give an idea of how chilly it was, as you can see a lot of the fountain is covered in Icicles, I was actually surprised there wasn't more of them I have seen this whole fountain incased in ice, most of the fountains in the city are shut off during the cold spells of winter so the pipes do not freeze or burst, they take another approach here they heat the water going out of the fountain and keep it running, which make sit more impressive that even with heated water it freezes like this.

Still in Bryant park one of the little pathways

And back on the same pathway where I started with in this post.

By this stage I was feeling the cold, I believe with the wind the real feel was about 10 Degrees that morning and I probably shouldn't have been out walking, but I felt the need for a walk, but by this stage it was a few quick snaps and a brisk walk back to the 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. @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,

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.
