I have little idea how many people walk this Stone Labyrinth I made.
Because of the ease of photographing this location from the Cambie Bridge, perhaps this work of mine may be more Giant Outstallation Art than Labyrinth…

…A Crop Circle made of Stone is a…. Stone Circle.
Or, a Stone Labyrinth, which is what I made here,
Vancouver’s own Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
I kind of surprised how much more this stone Labyrinth I made at the south end of Spyglass Place has been photographed and shared online, compared with my guessing that it might be so when I began placing the first few rocks…
“🤔” Indeed.
The Honeysuckle has really grown since I first began building this Stone Labyrinth.
A Maintenance visit in recent days revealed that eyeing from ground level, the Spyglass Place Labyrinth is almost hidden with an air of something Ancient.
Yet, from Cambie Bridge above, Spyglass is still easily seen…
World Labyrinth Day 2018 – Vancouver City of Labyrinths Project – Jane’s Walk
Start Location : Abandoned Olympic Village LRT Station Platform, North end Olympic Village Canada Line Train Station Parking Lot.
When : Saturday May 5 2018 at 4:30 p.m.
This 90 minute Jane’s Walk will celebrate ” World Labyrinth Day ” and share why and how Vancouver is becoming a “City of Labyrinths”.
Walk includes visits to:
History, purpose, and benefits of Labyrinth Walking will be shared.
How Labyrinths can be both Fun as well as ‘Giant Outstallation Art‘.
We will explain how Labyrinths have been used in designing cities for thousands of years(!).
This walk will decode TOAD – Temporary Obsolete Abandoned Derelict – urban infrastructure and how Labyrinths are excellent examples of Urban Acupuncture, Tactical Urbanism and Placemaking.
Did you know Jane Jacobs herself was influenced by Labyrinths in her writings about cities?
Join this Jane’s Walk and you will learn how!
Time permitting: using chalk on paved open space, people will be instructed in how to make their own Labyrinths, which we will then enjoy walking into and out of.
A limited number of printed materials will be available on a first-come first-served basis as keepsakes of this Jane’s Walk.
Coinciding with Jane’s Walk weekend, The Labyrinth Society has declared the first Saturday in May, World Labyrinth Day. This Vancouver Jane’s Walk is one of a number of global events marking the day.
Second time my Spyglass Place Labyrinth makes it onto R/Vancouver on Reddit . . .
But it’s not the Westworld Maze.
It’s my own design inspired by 650 year old Gossembrot Labyrinth design, but with my own unique changes . . .
And it’s meant for Humans to walk, not Robots . . .
