Wednesday walk challenge 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.
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 you 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.
For this week's Walk, I am going with some totally random things I saw on a walk from the train Station to my Office. I will be honets these were last week, I havent been up to walking much this week so I went with these shots, but they were taken last wednesday so within the last week :)
The streets of NYC are full of color and things to see, even simple things like free Newspaper boxes and rubbish bins can be colorful and eye-catching. NYC is great for Recycling seeing three bins one for normal trash and two for recycling is common all over the city.
I have often shared shots of Graffiti in the city, but tagging with stickers is also something you see a lot of in the city.
Now I am not sure tagging with stickers is the right term but I have no idea how else to describe them LOL.
But I guess I am right to a degree, in that there is tagging with some graffitti lettering ads well as sticker son this which is a box where you can make emergency calls,
At least that's what I understand them to have originally have been, but I do not think they work anymore, I guess with almost everyone having cell phones these days these boxes are not needed.
Next up I share this big plastic thing they use to block off parts of the road when there is construction or Roadworks going on, I sometimes think of them as witches hats on Steroids,
Yeah I know I am weird like that.
Why this one caught my eye is most of these are an orange color this one has faded to different shades and some pink tones.
In the background are the fire connection standpipes which are also all over the city.
And speaking of Fire Hydrants, let me stick with this theme for another shot of to, these are somehting you notice on the side of may buildings in NYC a Fire Department connection.
And Lastly for this weeks walk, a simple fire hydrant, where someone had disconnected the cover and opened the tap a little, as you can see water is draining from the Hydrant
Often you see Fireman along street sand opening up the firehydrants to check the water is flowing well and ready if ever needed, but in this casethere was no fireman in sight so I wonder if someone else haddone it for some reason.

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 on the weekend I sponsored the following people
@shaunf, @mo-nique, @princessmewmew, @molometer, @nikolina, @bluemoon, @tonygreene113,
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.
Unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Thanks and thanks so much for again joining the walk :)
Just my kind of walk! A little bit of fun in the eclectic nature of it! I am sure you will never run out of subject matter while you are wandering around New York City.
I can understand having a love/hate relationship with it.
I love the vibrant colors and subject matter there. Eye candy for a photographer. Your eye sees everything and I love following your walks. I hope you are feeling better and I hope you have a most fabulous #WednesdayWalk!

Thanks you are always so kind and supportive, I get a smile seeing a comment from you even before I read it
thanks again for joining Wednesday Walk :)
Thanks for the sponsorship. Those streets were my office when I worked the maintenance crew for T-Mobile sites.
Lots if unusual stuff lurking in the streets of NYC...
Posted using Partiko Android
My Pleasure, I have been a tmobile customer since even before they were tMobile and was a telecom tech so we have some things in common
This is an interesting side of NY. I suppose it is not all about money and fashion. 🙂
I like all the photos but I'm especially drawn by the last one. It has something... It makes me think of the brave firemen who fight flames.
Upvoted and resteemed your post.
This is my first entry to your lovely challenge and I hope you will like my photos. I'm always looking for honest feedback. 🙂

Thanks I try and share all sides of NYC the touristy, the common, the good and the bad
thanks so much for joining Wednesday Walk
Those recycling bins are awesome, you certainly can not miss those bright colours! And I think you are right with tagged for those stickers, often it seems to me more an advertising campaign as it revolves around brands although there are some unique looking images on that emergency phone.
That hydrant is amazing in black and white, it always fascinates me seeing those - do you think it was purposely being drained?
#thealliance #witness
Thanks for confirming it is tagging, some were advertising as you say, some for bands and such and some that to me just seem random
I honestly have no idea about the hydrant, but normally if done for a check the firefighter is nearby, so nit sure in this case
Looking at this old phone box covered in fly posters.
If you took it and stuck it in an art gallery. It would probably fetch $1,000's #streetart
LOL I bet your right, the value of art is something that I have never fathomed in some cases
lol
It's almost a total mystery how 'art' is valued these days! ;-)
LOl I know unusual for me I was trying to be nice lOL
Beautiful photos @tattoodjay! I love the colors, even in an urban environment.
Upped & steemed!
I went for a walk too:

Thanks I try to mix up what I find for my Wednesday walks post, just saw your post thanks for joining ;)
I miss hanging out on the streets of NY. It's been a while since my last visit. I love the sudden splash of colours you captured in your shots. Also the last photo, it's lovely!
Thanks NYC is great to visit working there can get a drag, thanks for your visit and support ;)
You always find such cool things to photograph. Here is my link. I also used the tag bridgesoftheworld, but see it has not been used much lately. We need to revive it! :-)
https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@dmcamera/the-fairy-walk
I absolutely loved your walk thanks so much for joining, and even I have been slack with the bridges tag I must work on that also :)
Glad you liked it. I have some other interesting ones to share😊
you're right! sometimes we pass by interesting things and do not notice them because we run and everything is in problems and stress :) the ability to notice the beautiful near is an art that must be learned! I like your idea with this contest. I gladly join you !!! https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@tali72/wednesdaywalk-walks-in-baden-baden-a48228776df9a
Yes I think we all need to slow down and take the time to see beauty around us, its easy to say but often hard to do
I hope this is the first of many more walks to come from my new neighborhood. Thank you for holding this challenge, @tattoodjay. I am glad to have a place to post this :)

Thanks kindly and thanks for joining Wednesday walk
Thank you very much! A random Wednesday photos are very good for people like me to understand how NYC looks! I saw only in movies, there are a script and a story but I take your images as a documentary! I don't understand very well what Steem Basic Income is but I must thank you because you mentioned me too in a very select companion.
most welcome
in short here is how Steem Basic income is described
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.
Thank you! You know I'm not a good English speaker, please tell me what I must do...I must upvote some accounts?
Most welcome and no you do not need to do anything, basically when the share of Steem basic Income is added, you will start getting small upvotes from them, the more shares you have the value of the upvote slowly increases
Oh, thank you! This is interesting and welcome.
my pleasure :)
I really like the colours you pick out. Posts like this remind me to be aware of my own surroundings, there are all sorts of interesting things around me that are worth taking in. Thank you for this great idea :)
thanks I do bring out the colors a little and thanks also for your kind ocmment
I have to keep this one in mind for Dr Wednesday. We did a great walk in the Cotswold over summer. Just got to sort the photos and remember to post on Wednesday!
cool I look forward to seeing it that is a beautiful area
My dear Jay, a wonderful walk and shots, once more! I've been out for 2 weeks, but soon, very soon, I will be able to dedicate more of my time to Steemit... and to the Wednesday walks! Cheers, my friend!

Everything is going well, thanks Jay! Have a wonderful day!
