Wednesday walk challenge Riverside Park and Steem Basic Income Give away
Wednesday walk challenge Riverside Park 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 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.
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.
Actifit

This Weeks Walk Post in Riverside Park
Riverside Park which runs from 129th Street to 72nd Street, on the West Side of Manhattan is a beautiful area very popular with people walking, running and cycling or at least it was on the morning I walked there.
Now I am starting with one of the last shots I took on the walk, just because I really loved the way the light was shining down through the trees into a light misty spot which created quite a magical feel, which this shot does not really capture the feeling that well but I had to share it first
Sony A7iii 65mm F77.1 1/60 ISO 400

And now the first shot I took on entering the park, a nice small pathway heading into the trees
Sony A7iii 24mm F7.1 1/60 ISO 2000

And just in the park I came across this path into one part of the wooded area, I love natural pathays like these and strolled through it and was so enjoying it I forgot to take more photos in this area
Sony A7iii 24mm F7.1 1/60 ISO 2500

And now I am out on one of the wider Pathways running along the West Side of the Park, I had to get a shot with the reflectons inthe big puddle fromt he rains earlier that morning

Along this walkway like in many of the parks in NYC there were plenty of benches if you felt the need to sit and rest for a while

Now I said earlier this park was quite popular with people walking, running and cycling and I realize you may think I was making that up as all the previous shots had no people in them, I generally try and get shots without people and admittedly when I started walking in the park there were not too many people, but this last shot shows there were actually others in the park when I was there

That's all folks
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 send some Steem Basic Income shares to 5 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. @bozz, @lordvdr, @qwerrie, @joelai , @farm-mom, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @starjewel,
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.

Want to have your post on the map too?
Thanks for the resteem appreciated
Wonderful quiet Park, I like the first photo is amazing!
Thanks It is such a beautiful park so refreshing to take an early morning stroll through I imagine it gets busy later in the day
The first photo is really magical! Just like in a fairy tale! A carriage might just emerge from the mist or the Snow Queen could appear to frighten people in the park!
Posted using Partiko iOS
Isn’t that first shot kind of magical I wonder if I could do an edit adding a carriage LOL
Thanks for the share! I appreciate it. Nice pictures! I am looking forward to putting together my Wednesday walk post this morning.
Most welcome and looking forward to seeing your post later in the day
Crisp fresh under the green, most photography I also prefer to leave people out, finding areas where you are able to enjoy surroundings, composing pictures with whatever comes to mind that captures imagination.
In particular like the photo with water and tree reflection.
After the rain the night before the greens were so beautiful that morning, I am glad I am not the only one who tries to keep people out of the photos, especially in natural scenes
That Tree reflection shot was one of my favorites of that day also

Thanks kindly sos nice of your to say :)
With pleasure!
😎👍😎
merci!
today I equipped myself with 50-mm, the weather is fine, hope the wednesday walk will be ok today :=D
The 50mm is a great lens thats the next one i am buying most likely i had one with my Pentax kit but haven’t got one for sony yet
for Sony you will more likely be getting a Zeiss Planar T* with multicoating, might be a superb addition to your arsenal! (but its so pricey...) I feel a bit envy :P
That is a rel nice lens but I may not have the budget to get that one before i retire when my spending on camera gear will come to an end, I also am looking at the Sigma art 35 or 50mm Lens which have great reviews and are a lot cheaper
Thank you very for sending the SBI, much appreciated. My Wednesday walk post this week might be coming late a day or two though... sorry for not sticking to the schedule...
Most welcome and no worries if it is a day or two Late so do say post on Wednesday of possible, I have guidelines and not rules ;)
I know, well maybe because I am the kind that likes to follow guidlines! Lol.... Thanks again!
LOL well with me do not worry about it I see rules as guidelines to be followed when convenient :)
Great pictures! I particularly enjoy the low vantage point; I really enjoy images that don't seem to be taken from eye-level.
Thanks for the visit, With age showing for me, my Knees don’t like me getting down low to often, but I still Love getting shots at ifferent angles and often do get down low for shots still :)
Wow! The first photo feels magical... There's light shining from above right in the middle of the photo. And love the reflection of the trees in the puddle of water.
And here's my walk. https://steemit.com/makemesmile/@elizacheng/special-edition-makemesmile-season-2-episode-16-makemesmile-ij98fjki

It is fun for me seeing walks from around the word, Looking forward to having you join
Lovely walk. I also like to take pictures without people. Only nature.😊
I am challenging myself to get more people shots but so far failing miserably a it LOL
Thank you!
And I like that you can see the light beam actually streaming through the trees in your first picture!
Most welcome, and yes that was so cool to come across

It is mystical, the first shot. Like illustration to a fantasy book.
And the reflection in the puddle is so clear.
Tans seeing it was such a magical feel to it indeed :)
My fav is the one photo with the light streaming through.
Thanks when I saw that light I had to get a shot of it
Hello...!!!!!
@tattoodjay
:D
My entry for today's #wednesdaywalk
https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@annephilbrick/wednesday-walk-with-jelly
I just saw it 👍😎👍
Oh, you certainly give us a bang for our buck here! The park is always such a delight and I am always in favor of taking "our" walk there!
The light coming down out of the trees in the first shot is almost a spiritual experience! I'm not kidding! Look how radiant that light is and it seemingly comes down from the heavens.
Another of my favorites is, of course, the trees reflecting in the puddles! Although, truth be told, I am hard pressed to pick favorites at this time of year and with your skillful hand at taking breathtaking shots.
It is like an oasis for someone who has been artistically dehydrated. Superb photography and lush landscapes.
Upped and Steemed
!tip
Your let’s so kind
No I didn’t say it in the post but I to felt it was kind of spiritual with that light and after taking the shot I did walk into that spot in the light and as weird as it sounds it did seem quite hmmm what’s the word refreshing I just felt good while there and had a spring in my step as I continued on my walk
I think of all my recent walks this was very much my favorite
It's true! You didn't even have to say it because that is exactly how I felt... It must be so!
This was one of the best walks ever, I have to agree with you!
I hope to visit there again soon and see other paths in the park its such a lovely area, just so far from the office

Wow, nice greenery place around Riverside Park and i like to reflectons in the big puddle so much.
It was my first time there it’s a lovely place fir a stroll
Don't you just love those rain puddle reflections, for some reason they are always so crisp and clear when you are able to catch them shortly after the rains stop. We had a couple of nice days, a trip to the Homer Overlook and the flower beds, and a lily pond/lake.
https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@bashadow/wednesdaywalk-a-drive-to-a-walk
Just saw your post 😎👍😎
Beautiful shots JJ. Awesome how the light comes down in the first photo and emphasizes the tree shadows. also love the reflections in the water on the street.
Thanks I was amazed by that light coming down I had to walk under it and be in the light, funny experience it was, I am sure anyone watching me though I was nuts LOL
I’m sure you always walk in the light JJ. 💕
Maybe you were singled out to be blessed again by the Holy Spirit or...beamed up to a space ship to be inspected by aliens . Did you lose any time? 😊 🙃 I’m jesting.
LOL I loved this comment it gave me such a good chuckle, and I did loose track of time there but I dont think I was abducted, but then if they did it well would I really know LOL
The light in the photo definitely has a mysterious look. You’ll have to be hypnotized now to find out what happened when you stepped into the light. 😊
Happy you got a chuckle, JJ.
I have twice been in cases where people tried to hypnotize me, one = to try and help with giving up smoking and once in a hypnotist show, both failed with me they just couldn't get me in a trance or whatever it is, So I guess I will just never know :)
You may never know unless you have flashbacks and then you will have to go on one of the alien abduction shows and tell your story..or write a post here about your experience. 😊 🙃
LOl with some of the photos I took today Maybe I will blame an alien abduction for the effects I got LOL
Ooo, such a woodsy walk! And I disagree - that first shot of yours (well, first in the post) is beyond wicked magical! It's my favorite, next to the one with the puddle reflections.
Here's my contribution for the week -

And, !tip
Firstly thanks for joining the walk this week I always love your wayback posts :)
Maybe I am hard on myself but that first shot just really does not capture how cool it was to see in person :)
And those two shots seem to be the most popular in this post

Thanks so much @traciyork truly appreciate the tip
@tattoodjay
Before I even say anything...
That first photograph!!
Ok, I can continue now lol...
Another wonderful addition, to the #wednesdaywalk challenge, and can't believe... not a single comment, about that new footer... too bad. As usual, you continue to make your surroundings look like nothing short of a mystical world out of a Tolkien novel. As you know, @stealthunicorn and I love to take those "back-breaking" shots... what we refer to as perspective shots... low on the vantage point... and that tree reflection... wow. As always... so appreciate you taking us along with you on your #wednesdaywalk.
Also... should mention... congratulations, to @bozz, @lordvdr, @qwerrie, @joelai, and @farm-mom for your #SBI shares...
Wes...
Thanks I loved that light it was so cool to come across and I replied on some of the rest on another comment lOL

Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
Thanks for letting me know :)
You're welcome @tattoodjay
I really enjoy your photos from your walks and so much can be said about that spectacular first photo. My first thought was heaven looking down and it took my breath away. Then I thought of Star Trek and I would have freaked out if I saw 2 people at the end of the beams of light. Beam me up Scotty. LOL! And I also loved the photo with the reflection of the trees in the puddle. : )
Those two photos seem to have been the most popular, and now you are going to have a chuckle, I did walk into the light after taking the photo, and a few things did pass through my mind
One I did say but maybe not loud Beam me up Scotty, I did feel a kind of warm refreshing feeling walking into the light coming down , and lastly thinking I hope I am not going to be abducted by Aliens LOL
No way! Seems like we think alike except for the aliens. So funny! LOL!
LOl I was just having fun thinking about the aliens, but the joke kind of turned on me yesterday at the doctors when I laid down for the ECG, well more when I sat up I saw a big bulge coming out of my Stomach and I thought what the heck is that and trying to see the funny side I did wonder if it was al alien LOL, seems its a hernia and not a big deal
Oh, no! Sorry to hear about your hernia. See what you get when joking around about aliens?!?! Thanks for the laugh but sorry it was at your expense. I sure hope you don't need to have surgery.
I did laugh as well not so much when I saw it but afterwards thinking about aliens
I doubt I will need surgery but will see what the doctor says I have been getting indigestion and acid reflux on and off for a couple of years now and not that I would say I am used to it I am used to dealing with it but at least I now know why 👍😎👍
I will be praying for you that you won't need the surgery. It is always good to know why you feel the way you do. Glad you got an answer to your burning question. : )
Thanks I see the Dr tomorrow but I am pretty confident I won’t need surgery it’s just an inconvenience really and one I can deal with
Lol 😂 at burning question 😎👍😎
I made it! Here's my post.
https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@joelai/wednesday-walk-or-a-walk-at-klcc-park-part-1
Thanks running around this morning but I will check out your post when I get a chance later today :)
Hope you have settled all your matters on hand.
Yes I got the things I needed to do this morning done and now chilling a little :)
That's cool!
Hi Jay, I'm a little late to the party this week but did do a #wednesdaywalk on Wednesday around my local supermarket looking at #vegetarian meals that look like meat?
https://www.palnet.io/marketfriday/@molometer/vegetarian-meals-that-look-like-meat
It was a bit weird but interesting...at least to me lol
Looks like you have had a bit of rain over there too?
HI Mate,, thanks for joining i saw your post a little while ago
and yes we have had the same pattern for all of spring basically, 1 or two days of sun then between 5 to 7 days of steady rai, am hoping that pattern will change soon enough is enough ;)
yeahhh NAIL IT!! il go walking, anyyy were with you & my camera in them super forest areas!! delishes hard tecnic in the first pix hun, soft wave of mist to the hard sun light, yum yum :D !!
It would be fun to do a photowalk together sometime somewhere but I suggest we would be talking and joking away and having so much fun we would forget to take photos
I loved that light coming down, I even walked into the light after taking the photo, someone joked to me in a comment was I sure I was not abducted by aliens when under the light, which came back to me today when I went for my Cardio Doctors checkup, when I laid down or more sat up after the ECG, I noticed a big bulge coming out of my Stomach and I thought Holly molly was a taken by Aliens WTF is that, apparently its a hiatal hernia and not that big a deal according to the Dr, but this was the first time I felt and noticed it and it did freak me a little LOl
but aside from that the follow up was greta I am doing great and no follow up for a yar so all is good ;)
I knooow right??? I see us with camerabags fully geared but seeing something cool, and talk about it and waaalk passed it ;) :P BUT think about it, noooow that will give us a stunning step count tooo ;) ha ha
Ailine abduction?? Omg wouldnet that have made a coooool pix !!! :D
Cheeses the line of your thoughts are soo fab LOL Im sorry about the hernia, rememebr to push it in, or it will grow and extend the area... Hm get your doktor to put a mesh on that :) Il tell my patients next tiem , they been possesed by a alien ;) Tnx you just made my work day , waaay better ;) LOL
Super to hear, tnx for info :D woohoo you !! :D
It was a bit freaky when I first saw it and I will mention it when I next see my General Dr, but thinking about it now it explains perhaps why I had bad indigestion at times and symptoms like a heart attack and yet my Heart is fine according to the cardio Dr, so now it all makes sense and I see it as a positive thing
We would have such fun on a photowalk without a doubt ;)
I bet... as you said; give a hole lot of Alien feel to them ;) Yes do that, hm dont get why the cardio dude dident pick up on your tummy, when your heart was ok... Hmm...
Yes that is fab news as its a easy surgery nooo stuff after to keep track of either :)
Im doing a mindwalk with youuu as it is LOL
I think perhaps the reason it hasnt been noticed before is I was heavier then and had a lot bigger belly ( not that I have it down to a six pack or anywhere close yet) but it has come down a lot and maybe that is why I noticed it,
From what I have read here they seldom do surgery its just something to live with
But I will call my general Drs office tomorrow and tell them about it and see if they want to see me, and take it from there, and in the meantime not lay flat on the back to often as sitting up after that is the only time I notice it and then I get a lot of wind afterward LOL
very nice park! I think that morning, hardly anyone wanted to sit on the benches :))))
Ohh yes I didn't see anyone sitting it was so nice everyone was enjoying walking ;)
