That’s me painting my first Labyrinth of the Day, on Kensington Avenue in Kensington Market on Pedestrian Sunday . . .
It was HOT.
Then suddenly, as I finished painting this multi-colour Street Labyrinth, a few drops of rain began to cool down the heat.
With the ground now wet, I opted to walk north through the Market towards Augusta Avenue, where I intended to re-paint the three now faded Labyrinths I had painted one month ago, during the previous Pedestrian Sunday.
“Clearly not enough time within the world of Pedestrian Sunday but you have a feeling that there is a future for streets without cars.
It’s the the best parts of the Open Streets TO concept and long standing street festivals like Taste Of The Danforth;
Would very much enjoy City of Toronto giving over more control of our streets to the people.
Where we can remove the need for cars, let’s do it.
Creating spaces to create & inspire, to buy & sell, to meet people, friends and strangers, let’s do it.”
I’m already working out Labyrinth designs for the next Pedestrian Sunday on July 28 2019, placing it in a different area of Kensington Market to mix things up for the kids . . .
A near-to-the ground close-up of the Heart Aglet from one of two Labyrinths I chalked on Commercial Drive during Car Free Day YVR a couple of weekends back…
Thanks Yuika!
Hey, that’s me chalk drawing the Heart in Centre of The Labyrinth!
Shortly thereafter, The Carnival Band parade arrives and stops atop The Labyrinth!
@LabyrinthsDOTca walked your labyrinth on Bloor earlier today: https://t.co/2FyPy5ay5h // thanks!
