Way Way back Wednesday Walk in NYC
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
As the title suggest this is a way way back walk from 2019, it was inspired by a comment I just replied to where I said perhaps I have gotten soft since I retired, back when I worked in NYC I was up early every morning and off to catch the train into NYC where I was working, and before going to the office I would get to the city an hour or two early and walk around and explore the city before work no matter the weather, well not if it was pouring rain, but whatever the temp I would get a walk in, nowadays if the temp isnt 45 or better I generally stay indoors and warm, maybe i need to push myself a bit, but I am sure my wife wont be so keen on that with having had a few bouts of Pnuemonnia and after last years surgery which slowed me down a bit she doesnt like me going out when its to cold.
But lets get to the photos as much as I hated the crowds in NYC I did love the buildings and bridges, this one is I believe the Manhattan Bridge

The terminal for the Staten Island Ferry, in all my time in NYC i only took the ferry and checked out Staten Island once, back when I first arrived in NYC, I took a bit to adjust to having weekends off, coming from the field where i worked 7 days a week, so I set myself a goal to walk by every subway station in the city, I put a subway map on the wall of my apartment and crossed them off once i had been by them, not counting riding through them in a train, only if i walked by the entrance to the subway stop.
Took a while but I eventually ticked them all off walking for hours every Saturdya and sunday, I sure got to know the city well, when I ticke doff the last one i noticed a mention of Staten island so the next week I took the feryr over and walked around it.
A pity bakc then I had not got back into photography

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
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
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, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving 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.
