Drone Photograph of David Crombie Park’s Basketball court.
Immediately north of the Basketball court,
You can see my Green & Blue colour painted Labyrinth in the top of the image.
I’m surprised with how visible it is !

Today is Day 26 of Ramadan 2020.
This video is from my journey to Madinah, Saudi Arabia in May/June of 2011.
I was walking from my youth hostel to visit Masjid Qiblatain.
Masjid Qiblatain is known for having two Mihrabs, or Prayer Niches.
Originally,
Muslims had faced north west from Madinah towards Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem when praying.
A time came when the Direction of Prayer, the Qibla, was turned south east towards Makkah.
Hence,
The Masjid with Two Qibla.
En route,
A traffic island in the distance somehow caught my curiosity.
Alhumdulillah,
A Triangle Topiary Hedge Labyrinth !
Discovering this was a HUGE moment for me.
Muslims in The Holy City of Madinah were also making Labyrinths !
Afterwards,
I found a a small playground near Masjid Qiblatain.
In that park,
I outlined a simple three lane Classic Labyrinth in the sand and walked it.
Turning north and south and east and west.
Not unlike the Turn in Congregational Prayer Direction from Jerusalem to Makkah in the Masjid I was about to enter and visit.

It's been life transforming so far. Walked on foot around this city: to Mount Uhud; prayed in masjid al Qiblatain; made a labyrinth; cried.

I was 10 when my Family performed Hajj;
We visited #Madinah;
Did I "see" #Labyrinths then?
Ergo, my inspiration?https://t.co/MPpY9LNPVY pic.twitter.com/xFseSU9MWH

This photographer also shared a black and white image of this Labyrinth I painted in Randy Padmore Park . . .
The paint has faded on the White Pass-Through Labyrinth on Labyrinth Pier Vancouver.
With the Pandemic,
I don’t know when I will return to Vancouver to repaint all the Labyrinths that comprise Labyrinth Pier Vancouver.
Yet,
Hopefully enough of this Labyrinth outline remains for it to still be walkable . . .

This map includes the 16 Lane Labyrinth Steve and I painted there in the Wading Pool during Spring 2016.
Surprised and Grateful to see it mapped this way.
Yay !
Reminds me of my friend Marlena Zuber‘s famous maps of Toronto
It’s overdue that I get around to creating a map of where all the Labyrinths in my “City of Labyrinths” are !
That’s very cool. I went for a walk this morning before the mist and chill settled on the city.

Grateful for this photograph.
It shows me two of the Pink lines are already peeling away, revealing the underlying painted Black design outline.
InshAllah,
I should be able to at least repaint these Pink lines asap.
YES ! https://t.co/wYvUEmOGKv
Happy #WorldLabyrinthDay 2020 !

“See this as a maze,
Water hole on sacred pause,
Non amenity.”
