Wednesday Walk - within a couple of blocks of the office

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea being 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

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 generally or decide on one subject you want to get shots of.

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.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

For my Wednesday Walk post this week, this past week I haven't been out and about as much as normal for a variety of reasons including such grey weather but on Monday I managed to get out for a walk near my office in the city and got a few shots.

I walked down 2nd Ave and came to the Churchill Towers residential complex which has this cool Garden and statue out the front.

My stroll took me past this little fire station just off 2nd Ave, its a small little station for Engine 21 and just has room for one truck, I thought it was cool with the Fire Department of NY vehicle parked outside at the time.

By this stage of my walk I was up on 3rd Ave, and took a quick shot of this little stall/shop there are so many of these all around the city, and even though at this time no one was shopping there at the time but they do a lot of business, sometimes with queues of people.

Another site you often see is the Con Ed workmen such as here working under the streets and so often with steam rising out of the open manhole.

Parking is at a premium in the city, the parking garages are fairly expensive, so when people can find a spot on the street I would imagine is a bonus, I say Imagine as I never drive into the city I always take the train in.

So they make the most of any space available on the street such as this bike which the owner found a spot between these two cars,

Now its easy of course for the Motorcycles to get out of the gaps between the cars, but I feel for the owner of this car if they want to get out before the Motorcycles leave, I wonder what they do as there is no space at all to get out of the park without moving the bikes.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
