Ice water temperatures in the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto.
Appreciate these images as I can see how the colours of the concentric circles of my Wading Pool Labyrinth are doing.
The purples are okay, yet the Red ones, which were closer to Orange when last I re-painted them, really needs refreshing.
More work for me when I’m back in T.O.!
And I’m happy to do it!
Black and White photograph capturing the colourful Lines of the Roxton Road Labyrinth I painted on the wading pool in Fred Hamilton Park, Toronto . . .
Another one of my Wading Pool Labyrinths popping up online . . .
This time it’s the one I painted in the tiny wading pool in Geary Avenue Parkette, at the west end of the park at the foot of Deleware Street North, in Toronto.
Many times, I didn’t paint my name into the Labyrinth, but this is one of those times I did.
The darker green circle aglets are holding their colour, yet the lighter green concentric circles of the Labyrinth could use a new brightening coat of re-painting.
…Added to my ever-expanding to-repaint list for my next trip to Toronto!
This is a wonderful composite photograph comprised of at least five different captures.
I’ve tried now and then to create similar composite images of the same Labyrinth Walker at different spots along the path, yet nothing as nice and seamless as this one.
Well done Clara!
Happy Walking !!
Some years back in Toronto when I was RE-Painting my Labyrinth in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park, a father of two young boys was surprised to finally meet me.
He had a seven year old and a four year old.
His then four year old had learned to walk by using the lanes of my Labyrinth.
His older brother, who was all of three years old at the time, would spend an hour by himself walking and re-walking and re-walking the Labyrinth.
That hour of parent-free direct attention allowed the dad to focus on his youngest, helping his toddler to learn to walk.
The father told me that they as a family had been walking the Labyrinth almost everyday that they could for the past four years.
I was speechless. I became unusually self-conscious as the Father wanted to snap a photograph of me standing with paintbrush in the Labyrinth.
It was one of the most profound moments during my journey in my City of Labyrinths Project.

Many Thanks to GlobalBC Weekend News Anchor Sonia Deol (@soniadeol1) who on her day off ( July 3 2018 ) took a few minutes worth of her family time to interview me about the Labyrinth I chalked in Jack Poole Plaza in Downtown #Vancouver . . .

Aw Shucks.
And Thank you!
My Stone Labyrinth is both a Neighbourhood Labyrinth and a City Labyrinth.
Neighbouhood being Olympic Village and South False Creek.
The City being Vancouver.
A skateboard who makes use of the Christie Pits Wading Pool as a “velodrome” once shared with me how he appreciated the painted lines of my Labyrinth.
It improved Situational Awareness as he boarded round and round in circles having fun . . .
