Wednesday Walk make me smile post by and on the Williamsburg Bridge

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.

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

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 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.

Williamsburg bridge

For this weeks post, I am actually sharing shots from a walk last week when I went to check out the Williamsburg Bridge and walk over it which I had never done before

The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge in New York City across the East River connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan at Delancey Street with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn at Broadway near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
the Bridge is 7,308 Feet Long and construction started in 1896 and it was completed in 1903 up until 1924 it has the longest suspension span in the world.

Starting with a shot later on in the walk, but since I described the bridge i thought I would share a shot showing it first.

Now back to the start of the walk, after I got off the Subway here I am walking towards the bridge, now after 20 plus years working in NYC, I had walked across the 59th Street Bridge once and the Brooklyn Bridge a few times but never across the Williamsburg Bridge.

Further onto the bridge

Now you may have noticed on the side of the walkway was a mesh fence, which although you could see through it and enjoy the views it did limit the options for photos, I did take one of the Brooklyn bridge as seen from on the Williamsburg bridge as I share here

I will admit I only walked half way across the bridge, with the mesh fence blocking taking shots of the view, I decided to head back and walk around the area a bit before heading back to work that day

And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive one Steem from me and this week it is @TBA

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.
