Wednesday walk challenge Central park And Make me Smile Collaboration week

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, 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

Central park

First off I must say this is and II am borrowing a term used by @traciyork a Wayback walk, and you will probably guess that because of the trees int his shot, I have got out for walks this past week but its bene pretty grey or raining most times and I don't have any recent shots that would fit this challenge to use so going back to a walk I did one morning through Central Park

But I know the host of this challenge is pretty laid back and doesn't have rules, just guidelines so I am sure he won't mind (after all it is me LOL)

This first shot is at one end of the walkways called The Mall

This next shot is by one of the many water feautures inthe park but at this point in time I forget which one, but you can see I wasn't the only one out early taking photos that day

Next up one of the rustic benches in the park, which for me just cried out for a mono edit

And in the same area another walkway with a rustic style fence on either side

And finishing off this walk post back on the Mall, this time while on the Mall itself, and I know often I try and get shots without people in them, but I am trying to get some shots with people in them now so don't be too shocked seeing people in three of thse shots :)

Weekly giveaway of shares

I am sending Steem Basic Income shares to 3 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. , @qwerrie, @quotes-haven, @ireenchew, @farm-mom, And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @nelinoeva,

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.
