A walk from Grand Central and around Bryant Park

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 @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.

Note 2 Yes I misspelled my own tag wednesdaywalk, how Deranged is that

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.

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.

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 @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 @elizacheng,

Here are the rules for her challenge

Your post can be writing, singing, video, poem,drawing, photography etc.... the most important part is your post Make me" smile, Remember, the ME is whoever read/view/listen to your post and this includes YOURSELF.
b. Your content must be ORIGINAL CONTENT
c. Please include at least 50 Words in your post

So the collaboration giveaway is as follows
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 , with shots taken from a walk in the last week, is a walk from Grand Central and around Bryant Park, I killed two birds with one stone on this walk getting shots for this post and for Market Friday.

As I said this walk started with me in Grand Central after getting off the train.
I start with a shot walking up 42nd Street to Bryant Park It looks like a nice sunny day, but looks can be deceiving, I think it was just a little above freezing point or maybe blow when I did this walk.
The curved building with the reflections is the grace building

They do a nice job with the decorations in Bryant Park at this time of year, the tree will be setup lit sometime after thanksgiving, but still nice even now with these decorations between the shots, ( which I will share shots of for my Market Friday Post)

This next shot is of the Skating rink at Bryant Park, in the early morning it wasn't open as yet, its free to Skate at Bryant Park ( which is rare very little is free in NYC), but if you need to rent skates they cost :Skate Rental: $18-$33, Lockers are also free, but locks cost $12.

And another shot of the decorations and rows of shops, just because I like them :)

And since I said My walk started in Grand Central Let me finish off with a shot taken in Grand Central, which I passed through on the way back to the office, mainly to get out of the cold breeze for a couple of minutes and warm up a little

Weekly giveaway of shares

---

I have sent 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 3 Steem to @saffisara, @actifraenk, @davidesimoncini, @annephilbrick, @qwerrie,@debralee,
@elizacheng will send one SBI share to @kaminchan,

Note my projected total liquid steem income from last Wednesday's post will be around 16.5 steem and I am sending out 18 Steem

Thanks to @appreciator for the support on last weeks post to enable me to send out this amount of Steem

PS, with Bluemist's sponsorship next week I will be able to send more steem to participants :)

As @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 an SBI share from me and this week it is @janaveda

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.

Okay, I have to ask, why is there a price range for skate rental? Is it based on size or adult vs. child? That seems like a pretty hefty price! I guess it is New York though :)

[tattoodjay]

I did wonder if someone would ask that as I was preparing the post i did wonder the same but I dont have the answer sorry, I am guessing it may be size related

Really nice photos man. Thanks for the info about the contest and telling people about actifit.

Your photos are extraordinary again, as always - I especially love the first shot 😊

I cannot skate without falling down all the time (I have tried it once and never again ;), but if I did could I bring my own lock to save money, or do I have to take theirs?

If the weather would have not been so !DERANGED bad, I would certainly have gone for a walk today and made a #wednesdaywalk post once again, but somebody up there in the clouds does not want me to go outdoors ;)

It took me a bit to decide if that building was actually curved or if it was just an illusion. Interesting structure.

[tattoodjay]

I wondered the same the first time i saw it :)

[whatisnew]

There is actually a curved building? How cool is that?!?! It looks like an illusion at first. Oh, I love the decorations near the shops in the park. Thanks for showing the inside of Grand Central. What a magnificent place with al lot of history.
Here is my walk. https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@whatisnew/wednesday-walk-autumn-colors

[tattoodjay]
