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.
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.
Ah yes, all the food carts! So scary and delicious all at the same time! I think it's cool how most big buildings like that have names.

I think you are doing very well in taking care of your health by staying at home when the temperature is cold, there will always be better days to take pictures; remember that health always comes first
What a beautiful photographic memory of New York
The shot of the reflection in the water of the building is very beautiful

New York City is a modern city with many high-rise buildings. I like that the bridge was built a long time ago but is still sturdy, nice picture you took. Like it. Thank you happy days.

Beautiful and inspiring memories of New York and the walking challenge! It seems those days were full of energy and vitality. The photo is absolutely stunning, showcasing the beauty of the Manhattan Bridge's architecture. Wishing you more special moments while taking care of your comfort and health!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Wowww I loved today's ride!!!! Did you work in an office? It gave you free time for walks, that's great. The second picture is my favourite, what a beautiful reflection.
But now you must take care of yourself, your wife is absolutely right, health is first without it there is no walking...first things first. Take care of yourself and thanks for this walk!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day

What beautiful colors, all very vibrant, beautiful photos.⭐️
A lovely walk through the city a while back.
Times change… don’t be to harsh on yourself. Enjoy retirement and go out during good weather. Especially after the surgery and being sick.
Have a great day 😎
thanks, yes I need to accept its time to be sensible :)
Wow! It has been so many years since I've been to the city... Back in the day I was never a picture taker, more an enjoyer of the views. At the time I thought they would stay in my head forever, boy I was wrong! Great shots you have there. I hope it warms up soon!
Thanks, I wish I had bene into photography when I first got there, I walked every weekend exploring all of the city and like you say our memories do not last as well as we wish they would

"nowadays if the temp isnt 45 or better" - I have a question, just for complete understanding. Is 45 Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Great reflection picture.
!pimp
