# Wednesday Walk make me smile the Rockefeller Centre tree
Wednesday Walk make me smile the Rockefeller Centre tree
And of course, I must start with wishing all who celebrate it and read this a very Merry Christmas
I was debating whether to do a post this week but since I did not announce last week anything I felt that I should do one, I myself will be busy at the time I post this so it could well take me a few days to visit all your posts for the Wednesday Walk but I will get to them.
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Note I want to thank 
@bluemist for sponsoring this challenge starting from this week, due to their support I will be from next week sending out Steem to a selection of people who partake in the Wednesday walk as I will explain in the guidelines below all of the liquid rewards for this post will be shared with a selection of participants.
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.
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.
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 some Steem to a selection of those who participate, please note this is a change from sending out SBI shares, as I did in the past.

The tree at the Rockefeller Centre
I will start by saying these shots are from a couple of weeks ago, last week I wasn't feeling the best so didnt get out for many walks, and this week I am busy with family for Christmas, and have not been out for taking photos nor too much walking I would imagine ( I say I would imagine as I am actually preparing this post before Christmas week and family time start as I know I won't have one to prepare any posts between now and when this is due to be posted)
Now all these shots are taken in a small area of the Rockefeller Centre so it may not seem much of a walk, but I did walk from my office to and from taking these shots so probably walked for an hour in total at the time.
But many were out walking in this area when I took this first shot as you can see, this area sis so popula ronce the tree is lit up.

The tree has been a national tradition each year since 1933. The 2019 Christmas Tree Lighting took place on December 4, and the tree will remain on display until January 17. it is as always a Norway Spruce and stands 77 Feet(23M) tall.
Here is a shot of it flanked by the Angels all their trumpets aimed at the tree

Being a Christmas Day Post I thought a couple of shots of the Angels and tree were appropriate
