Two of the original four Labyrinths I painted to create Labyrinth Pier have weathered yet remain visible enough to walk . . .

Early morning light begins revealing the Orange Labyrinth I painted on Labyrinth Pier in Vancouver . . .

Initially I had chosen Yellow as the colour for this location, yet at the last moment, I picked up the Orange Can of Paint instead.

Mornings like this one confirm Orange was the way to go . . .

This is the western Boardwalk portion of Labyrinth Pier.

My intention was to paint a long rectangular Labyrinth in various shades of Green with The Overlook Maze from the film The Shining as a design inspiration.

I ran out of time last year to complete this.

The Boardwalk ain’t going anywhere, so, when I return to Vancity and have time and energy . . .

White and Orange Labyrinths on Labyrinth Pier, Vancouver . . .

My intention was to paint at least five and possibly seven very different Labyrinth Designs, each a different colour.

I was only able to complete four of them.

These two remain visible and walk-able.

The Orange Labyrinth I painted is holding up well, the other Labyrinth needs a few coats of white paint.

It’ll be among the first Labyrinths I re-paint upon my return to Vancouver . . .

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.

The Sir Casimir Gzowski Park wading pool was my second labyrinth stop on this Thanksgiving Sunday 2011.

Having biked from Howard Junior Public School after experiencing their Species of The Humber Watershed playground labyrinth, I was en route to Butterfly Park just west of the Humber River. The original intention for the day was to create a giant Butterfly shaped labyrinth design. It has been on my mind for the past two summers, and today I finally made the time.

Watching a mother and son walk my wading pool labyrinth brought a smile to my face. Looking over to children climbing the nearby playground equipment, my eyes were drawn to the empty spot on the beach immediately south of the boardwalk.

As often happens in my labyrinth building, serendipity takes over and something else, somewhere else gets built first.

Only a moment was needed to decide to abandon plans for the Butterfly Labyrinth. Maybe it will get done next summer? Or the summer after that?

…I began measuring, then outlining circles in the sand… More Photos
