Wednesday Walk make me smile post by the east river

Update a Wednesday Walk Community

Now I will be honest I dont know much about communities or how they work, but i have created one for Wednesday Walk

https://steemit.com/trending/hive-155530

Any tips on communities would be appreciated

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 Hive account@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

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

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 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.

Actifit

A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is Hive account@actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.

If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out

Make me Smile Collaboration

As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the [Make Me Smile] hosted by Hive account@elizacheng,

Here are the rules for her challenge

This weeks walk

For this weeks walk, which was actually last Wednesday, but I prepare this post on the weekend as I am not sure how busy I will be during the week, I am sharing some shots I took one day when I walked to the East River Esplanade for a view across the water

This was one of the rare walks I take around the city during the day as you may be able to tell by the light, heading into my last week of working i have snuck out for a couple of midday walks :)

At the spot where i took the first shot is one of the stops for the NYC water taxis as shown in this next shot.

Weekly giveaway of shares

I am sending Steem to a few people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. this week I am sending 5 Steem to Hive account@violetmed, Hive account@olga.maslievich, Hive account@vesytz, Hive account@gulia.peito, Hive account@rossfletcher, Hive account@alexanderfluke, Hive account@quotes-haven, Hive account@angiemitchell,

Hive account@elizacheng will send one SBI share to Hive account@artgirl,

As Hive account@elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive one Steem from me and this week it is @TBA

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
