Originally I thought to carve “Vancouver Public Labyrinth” into this same log.
Perhaps “LOVE Everyone” is the message that belonged here all along . . .

“Walked to the Labyrinth,
Walked the Labyrinth and back with @tillie.king today.
This is the farthest I’ve walked in quite some time.
Today was a perfect day for contemplation with the sun playing with the clouds and rain,
The reflections of high tide and the perfect graffiti at the Labyrinth.”
Summertime Smiles beside the Geary Avenue Parkette Labyrinth . . .
I had just visited this Labyrinth in Primrose Avenue Parkette the evening before Randy posted his image on Instagram.
How rare timing !
I was there repainting several of the Labyrinth Lines that had faded.
A few of the lines had disappeared entirely,
Making any Labyrinth Walk confusing.
I only brought a single tint of green paint,
so the Labyrinth has been restored,
yet my original mathematical colour logic no longer visually works.
But who cares?
You can once again easily walk the Primrose Avenue Parkette Labyrinth !
Labyrinth I painted on the surface of the Wading Pool in Geary Avenue Parkette.
Upon my arrival,
I was surprised at the nuanced gesture of two spirals drawn in the umlaut dots atop the letter ï in my signed name.
The colours, different tints of green, are still visible and viable as Lines of the Labyrinth.
Only the two half circles which extend onto the cement deck surrounding the wading pool were in need of a repaint.
I added a Heart in the centre of the Labyrinth.
Also added the Pi symbol π in the triangle of the Labyrinth connecting the centre and the outer wall.
I was tempted to paint some more art to complement the existing design, yet decided adding an arrow pointing towards the entrance of the Labyrinth was just the right final touch.
During the Pandemic,
Many have been waiting for Barber Shops and Hair Salons to re-open.
People need haircuts.
Likewise,
The Vancouver Public Labyrinth has been in need of a Grass Cut.
Today was that day . . .
Grateful to The City of Vancouver / Vancouver Parks Board staff for carefully cutting overgrown grass around the Vancouver Public Labyrinth !
Even though I wasn’t able to walk my Vancouver Public Labyrinth on this Pandemic Summer Solstice,
Grateful to see that at least one Vancouverite did . . .
This drone image of Habitat Island captured by Vancitypixels was inspired by Jeremy Lee’s Drone Image of the same.
Like Jeremy’s drone photograph of Habitat Island in False Creek,
This image incidentally also includes TWO of my Labyrinths !
First one, Vancouver Public Labyrinth, is easily visible and shown here.
The second one is barely visible,
That’s my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth I made on the round cement art podium in Hinge Park.
This drone photograph was captured around 7 p.m. on June 6 2020.
To my knowledge,
this is the first aerial drone image of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Grateful to Jeremy Lee in Vancouver for sharing his drone image on Instagram.
His intention was to capture Habitat Island,
My Stone Labyrinth being in view was a bonus.
I rotated the Instagram image 90 degrees to reflect a true east-west orientation.
Incidentally,
The round cement circle you can see in Hinge Park is the location of my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth !
My Hinge Park Labyrinth has since become a Ghost Labyrinth with barely a walkable masking tape outline remaining at present.
The south east quadrant of the Vancouver Public Labyrinth dips just enough to allow rainwater to pool into puddle nurturing tall grass . . .
You can still make out the path.
It follows where the grass grew tall around the rocks and stones which outline the Labyrinth . . .
Nature nurturing a Hedge Maze from within my Stone Labyrinth ?
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 !
“See this as a maze,
Water hole on sacred pause,
Non amenity.”
Happy to see my Vancouver Public Labyrinth remains well trodden, still walkable, and mostly intact.
Grateful.
Looking east over David Crombie Park in Old Town Toronto towards Downtown.
Look beyond Basketball wall and you may recognize the square outline of the green and blue Labyrinth I painted there last year . . .
