Just as I was about to share this post I wasn't do happy with the first shot in the post, so I slipped this shot in again at the top so it shows in the thumbnail preview :)
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.

Note: with the changes with the hardfork I will have to see how it goes for the first week, but if the rewards are cut as I expect them to be, I may have to reduce how many SBI shares I give out each week, but will assess this week and decide before next weeks post

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

And if you are looking for another fun challenge, check out the Make Me Smilehosted by @elizacheng, coming soon we will be working to collaborate on occasionally on these challenges,
The third Wednesday of the month out two challenges will collaborate so if you combine the two into one post you have double the fun

This weeks Wednesday Walk On and around the Boardwalk in Silver Sands State Park

For this weeks post I will share a few shots taken on a walk along the boardwalk at Silver Sands State Park, Staring with a shot from the Car Park near to Walnut Beach and actually showing someone walking towards the park and Boardwalk

I am totally at a loss as why I used the settings I did for this shot, I think I had been taking some long exposures beforehand perhaps, and saw the sun through the trees and snapped this quick shot, not the best of shots, but I wanted to show someone walking to start the photos for this post

This next shot is on the boardwalk a bit earlier on the same day with a nice glow from the soon to rise sun, this walk is on I often go to on weekends, and one I never tire of visiting

At least I had more conventional settings for this shot :)

And just near to where i took this last shot was a guy building one of the rock sculptures or cairns.

And this is the finished piece he was building when I walked back past it later that morning, I am always impressed with how they build these the patience to find the right rocks and get them balancing just right is pretty impressive to me

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. @whatisnew, @wwwiebe,@almi, @kenikat,@singa, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @deerjay,


As the Third Wednesday @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

For the make me smile Challenge the lucky winner receiving an SBI share from me is @joanstewart

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


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.

YEs I do think you are right apparently if you earn less than 20Per post the rewards go Dow above 20 and it goes up, since I never make anywhere near 20 or 10 or 5 for that matter per post then the rewards will clearly go down

Did I tell you, that my second name is Rudolf? So, I am also a Rudy - why am I not lucky and why don't I have such a beach? lol

Of course, somebody might find him gorgeous, I did not mean to be mean. But I would have preferred if he had put on the shirt ;) lol

I thought, this was another saying - "Rudy lucky" sounds nice, doesn't it?

Do you like this boss? If you do, then "yes, it is my middle name" if not, then forget it ;)

I know, and I usually don't care how other people look like, but he simply did not fit in the beautiful photo ;) lol

Well I won’t ever call you Rudy
Since we are talking names I think you know most people call me JJ not my given name of John which I don’t like but the JJ could be JJJ my parents gave me the name John Joseph and when I was confirmed in the church I picked James as my third name 😂

Hi, thank you - if ever you should make a joke and call me Rudy, then please be aware, that you won't get a reply ;) lol

Yes, JJ, I know about the two J's, but I don't think, I would call you JJJ, because whoever might read my comments would think, that I make typos ;)

While I don't blame you for making that shot your thumbnail, I have to say that capture of the person walking from the car park is actually my favorite this week! Regardless of why you had the settings the way you did, they worked out perfectly (IMHO, of course).

Congrats to @joanstewart and thanks again for being such a gracious host. Here's my contribution for this week -
