Wednesday walk challenge Hunters Point Park and Steem Basic Income Give away

I
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.

And if you are looking for another fun challenge, check out the Make Me Smilehosted by @elizacheng, coming soon we will be working to collaborate on occasionally on these challenges,
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

Make me Smile Collaboration

As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the Make Me Smile hosted by @elizacheng,
Starting now with this post, 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

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

This weeks walk in Hunters Point Park South

When I was taking some shots looking across at Long Island City from Manhattan over the East River including the pano I shared in this post, I noticed a park and a couple of structures I had not seen before, so one morning I headed over there to check it out and that's the walk I will share in this post.

I took the Subway from Grand Central and went one stop on the 7 train and then walked to the Park and this is the first shot I took in the park, looking back along the riverside you can see the 59th Street bridge and the gantry at Gantry Plaza park which I have shared before in posts

And this is looking in the other direction into the park, its a real nice area, that I had not visited before I think it may be fairly new, and you can see one of the structures I saw across the water in this shot.

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. to @bricbric, @adalger, @thebigsweed, @willowisp, @mantishands, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday Walk .
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @bashadow,

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.

You always make #WednesdayWalk an enjoyable tag-a-long treat for my day. I especially love when you wander around the city and give us your view, which is almost always an unusual view and very much preferred as I know how everyone else normally photographs it.

It looks a tad brisk, although I know it is warming up. A wonderful walk, as usual! Thanks for taking us along and for hosting the challenge!

!tip

Thanks kindly as always a comment from you is like a breath of fresh air or a lovely spring breeze so I am doubly blessed today with a gorgeous spring day and your wonderful comment
This walk was last week actually and it was a tad brisk I almost didn’t go over there as it was below freezing after a day in the 70s the day before but I have been this park across the river from work and I was intrigued to go and check it out as I had not been to it before
It’s a cool park and pretty new and I have more from there to edit and share in fact the interesting structure that I saw from across the river I have yet to share 😎

Thanks kindly my friends thanks also for the !tip

There is something about those pictures that just looks cold. Not cold in a bad way, but cold in a way that you can feel it in your bones just looking at them. Maybe is just the lack of people in them. I am sure it was probably warmer than it has been when you took them.

It was actually quite cold that morning, I was layered up, the day before it had been a nice day but overnight the temps dropped big time I think there was a 35 Degree temperature change from the high of 70 the day before to the high of 45 the day I took these and it was just over freezing point when I did that walk

Ah yes, I think we had that a couple of days before you...

Spring is struggling to take a full grip here but i keep hoping it will soon :)
