Wednesday walk challenge in Harlem 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.

I love seeing all the walks people share from all around the globe each week, this past week we had 57 Wednesday walk posts, thank you all

Also before I forget today is SPUD ( Steem Power Up Day) an idea started by @streetstyle , check out his latest post about it [here] (https://steemit.com/spud/@streetstyle/steem-power-up-day-has-officially-started-in-new-zealand-and-it-s-free-may-1-2019-steem-steempower) I have done my power up to support this initiative ;)

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.

This weeks walk from 125th Street Metro North Station

For this weeks Walk that I will share, I will share some shots I took one morning when I decided to get off the train At the 125th Street Hudons Station and take a stroll

Harlem has some very cool old buildings and I will share a couple starting with this one, which at first thought I was considering doing in Mono with the golden morning light on it I had to keep it in color

And now we get to where i was heading to witht he plan to start my photowalk that morning, but as you can see I still had my camera out getting shots along the way.
This is in Central Park, at the opposite end of the park from the Pond and Gapstow bridge which I have shared before in an area called Harlem Meer and one of the walkways into the park.

As you can probably guess from this shot I got here at around 7 Oclock and not to many people were walking the paths at this stage.

And here ends this weeks post, but not the walk, I continued walking through Central Park for a while sincevit was such a beautiful morning

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. @hmayak, @amuchtar, @fruityexplorer, @porters, @dabeckster, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @joalvarez,

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
