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.

Dear Vancouver!

On Friday Evening, November 2 2018 between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., we’re having a Pumpkin Parade !

What is that exactly?

We bring our Carved Pumpkins from our doorsteps, window sills, and front yards to a neighbourhood gathering spot, McLean Park, at the corner of Heatley and Keefer in the Strathcona Neighbourhood.

We then enjoy the artwork of our neighbourhood!

Hopefully there will be enough pumpkins to create an outline of a Giant Jack O’Lantern which we can all enjoy together!

Please spread the word and see you then!

Still Wondering and need more?

I’m waiting for a break in the rain, long enough to allow my painting the thin outlines with at least one full coat using a full width roller brush.

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.
