Wednesday Walk Battery Park City by the waterplus Steem basic income share giveaway

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.

Wednesday walk challenge

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.

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 it this week 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

New from this week

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 week I am sharing some shots from a walk I did last Thursday, when I visited the river side walk at Battery Park City, this week I haven't got out for as many walks as usual as I had early morning Video Conferences every day but Thursday, the light wasn't ideal but I have a few shots I will share in this post

This is my first shot when I got by the Hudson River, this was after a five minute or so walk from the subway station I got off at to get to the park, my sense of direction was good and I got to the park without any detours which is often not the case for me, I get distracted with things I see along the way and head off at random directions to check out things I see in the distance

Now you may have noticed I didn't say what the park was called, thats simply becaus ei wasnt sure at the start I saw this sign saying its the Hudon River Park, but then

But just a few steps down the path I saw this banner saying it is Rockefeller Park, so I am not sure if it has multiple names or it is broken up into various park areas, furth along a saw a sign saying Robert F Wagner Jr Park, so these shots could be in any of those parks.
anyway I digress lets get back to the walk

Here I am walking along the path, its a lovely spot for a walk, Bushes and green areas on one side and the Hudson river on the other, its a popular spot for walkers and runners at just after 7Am there were so many out getting some exercise in

Looking over the river at this point you can see some of the highrises across the water in Jersey City, I noted new buyildings going up there, I am sure it has changed a lot since i lived there about 8 years ago.

And looking back on the Manhattan side of the river, I saw many boats along the walk, but will just share this one for this post.

It is quite a long walk from the start of this walkway to Battery City but if your not a big walker, not to worry there are many benches and seats along the way where you can stop and take a rest.

Even though I have plenty of more shots along the walk I think thats enough for this post.

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 send some Steem to add shares for some of my followers so yesterday evening I sponsored the following people
@denisechips, @birdsinparadise, @gillianpearce, @deerjay, @topkpop, @prydefoltz, @redheadpei, @bozz, @steven-patrick, @trudeehunter

All people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk, 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.
