How to catch a Witch ?
With Hearts of course!
One of those Pics is the Red Heart Labyrinth on Labyrinth Pier, Vancouver . . .
All Three Labyrinths comprising my Labyrinth Pier, Vancouver in view . . .
White. Red. Orange.
This image very nicely shows my choice of using the seam, for want of a word describing where the different direction of wooden planks of the pier meet up, as the middle of this Heart Labyrinth.
It turned out okay, eh?
Look closely at the White Labyrinth.
There is a mix of thin outlines and wide finished lines.
I was still in the process of painting the White Labyrinth.
The white dots and shoeprints are from people walking on my wet paint . . .
The Red Heart Labyrinth I had finished painting and it was dry, so no red shoeprints.
Images and captions like this one reassure me that the Labyrinths I make and place around the city are important and appreciated . . .
On the way to the library, I spotted a labyrinth (a #medieval centering / #meditation device) that someone had painted on the street. #mindful pic.twitter.com/YgpQJcILOZ

So that’s it for my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
The grass reveals a ghost outline of my former quintile, seven lane Labyrinth.
I had built this Labyrinth by placing stones I took from underneath the Cambie Bridge.
The middle of the Labyrinth, I chose it because there was a large flat stone embedded in the ground, and once you would arrive at the centre, you could stand on it.
Some time after I had made this, I came back with oil based paint sticks, and outlined a red heart on that flat stone.
That meant after you walked the Spyglass Place Labyrinth and arrived at the Centre, you would find a heart there.
So, if my Labyrinth was to disappear through entropy, the way for it to go, would be as a giant heart.
Seen from the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver, just north of Olympic Village Station.
The first of three Chalk Labyrinths I made on Sunday.
This one in Olympic Village Square. . .
Not many walked it.
Why?
Because Olympic Village Square on Sunday afternoon apparently was a Pokemon Go location.
People were staring at their online devices rather than notice any chalk pathways being made before them.
Three young girls did jump to the entrance and eventually dared to explore. They were the only ones to immediately do so.
I then went and chalked my larger Labyrinth project for the day on the north side of Athlete’s Way in another public space.
Mixed feelings about this turn of events . . .
Last week my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, which I first made back in April using nearby stones, had all its stones removed and put into a number of piles.
Aw well.
I intended to return and rebuild the Labyrinth when I had a good chunk of time to do so.
And now, in recent days, someone used some of the stones to outline a giant heart, with what looks like giant letters or initials inside the heart.
The grass outline of the Labyrinth remains as does the well worn path in-between those outlines.
My Spyglass Place Labyrinth was well walked.
It lasted from April until Early October.
Earlier this afternoon, I visited Labyrinth Pier and chalked my usual π symbol in bottom of the slice of pie that are found in almost all my circular Labyrinth designs.
I also chalked a Heart in the Centre of the Labyrinth.
They both change everything. It feels different walking when both Pi and Heart are present.
