Wednesday walk on Roosevelt Island 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

My Walk this week is on Roosevelt Island NYC

Now I know some feel bad if their photos are not taken o the Wednesday when they do their post, I will highlight here that for Wedesnday Walk posts the photos are never taken on the day, but I try to post photos from a walk in the previous week, but I even sip sometimes on that, but these photos were actually taken last Wednesday not today of a morning walk I took around part of Roosevelt Island before heading to my office.
Here is one of the first shots I took on the walk that morning not far from the subway station I came out from, Looking across this little lark and over the eats River towards Manhattan, with the 59th Street Bridge in the background

And here is another shot I took on that walk, it may look like I am out on the East River to take this shot, but looks can be deceiving and that is not the case, this is on the Long Island City facing side of Roosevelt Island and showing another Bridge across the river, I am kind of fascinated by bridges and took a few shots of this one which when I find the time I will edit for a future post

the last shot was taken from one of the viewing platforms around the Island which gave the impression I was out on the water, this is not the one I was on but I do not seem to have a photo of that one, this is one looking out towards Manhattan I believe

Sorry the photos in this post are a bit out of sequence, but I will just blame that on the fact that as I am writing this my mind is wondering off all over the place :)

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 draw names and send some Steem to add shares for some of those who joined last weeks challenge to @bashadow, @cherryng, @plantstoplanks, @quotes-haven, @owasco, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @jayna,

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
