Wednesday walk challenge - The Highline 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.

Actifit

A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is @actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.

If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out

Make me Smile Collaboration

As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the [Make Me Smile] hosted by @elizacheng,
On 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

Here are the rules for her challenge

Your post can be writing, singing, video, poem,drawing, photography etc.... the most important part is your post Make me" smile, Remember, the ME is whoever read/view/listen to your post and this includes YOURSELF.
b. Your content must be ORIGINAL CONTENT
c. Please include at least 50 Words in your post

So the collaboration giveaway is as follows
As well as the SBI shares normally given away from the Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenge, we will send one SBI Share each to one lucky winner who joins both challenges in one post

This weeks walk some art on the Highline

I will be honest these photos are not from this week, I have been out walking most days, but haven't got around to editing the photos yet, so this is a Way back Wednesday Walk from me, but since I do not have rules only guidelines and I always say I am flexible I am fine with that and not going to tell myself off.
These shots are on the Highline in NYC, a cool Park, that is built on the old train Tracks in the Meat Packing District of NYC, What caught my Eyes as soon as I got on the Highline on this walk, w ere these flags waving over the walk way, I found a sign for them and they are called "Garlands" and are by Daniel Buren, they sure add a nice splash of color over the walkway

This next Piece is by Firelei Baez but I did not note down the name of this piece, I do love the highline it has art that rotates as well as a nice long walking path up off the city streets and plenty of nice little gardens all the way along

NOw the cool thing about art is what someone may love other may not feel the same way, take these next two pieces, for example, I thought they were worth taking a shot but didn't really grab my attention to want to stop and enjoy them if that makes sense

The art pieces are by Ryan Sullivan and them art titled Blue and Brown Painting, this first one is Brown

And this one is Blue

I guess what I liked most about these pieces is the title, in that it made me feel better about some of the titles I come up with for posts or photos :)

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.
