Chalked a Classic Labyrinth with random sized lane widths in Devonian Park, Vancouver.

The spot is a crossroads of sorts, with cyclists, roller-bladers, walkers and joggers all passing through it.

But I didn’t realize that before I began chalking.

It’s a very people-busy thoroughfare, opposite of ideal for meditative, nor playful, Labyrinth walking.

Labyrinth running…?

Maybe if one is quick, so people passing through won’t bump into you.

Still, two brothers riding their bikes, decided to stop cycling, drop their wheels, then decided to rush in, out, then through the Labyrinth a number of times, all as I was about to leave for the evening.

It’s Care-Free Weekend in North Vancouver! Just found out about it at the last minute and found my way there… Very much a Pedestrian Sundays Vibe with a GIANT Waterslide running downhill. Found an empty intersection and chalked a late-in-the-day Labyrinth.

Vancouver’s Chinatown Festival takes over a number of streets in the city’s Downtown East Side each summer.

It’s a full weekend of programming, and I spent the early part of Saturday Afternoon soaking it all it before deciding to pull out the chalk.

I found the children’s area and took over an unclaimed spot beside a big bouncy castle kind of thing that you fill up with air and little kids, well, walk and go bouncing through.

Chalked a simple Five Lane Labyrinth, including a spelling error(!), then I waited. And Waited. And waited some more. In the shade of course, another HOT day. Yet, no Labyrinth Walkers.

The “Koinoburi” Labyrinth… Attendees of Powell Street Festival were invited to contribute artwork via painting or markering an oversized Fish “Scale”. Each “Scale” was then placed upon “The Koinoburi“, a Giant Outstallation Artwork placed in Oppenheimer Park as part of this year’s Powell Street Festival.

I visited Glen Park, in an East Vancouver Neighbourhood I was familiar with back when I was here in 1996. Encountering such a huge wide patch of asphalt was too tempting to leave alone. Out popped the chalk, up sprang a Labyrinth, round and round the children ran.

This is one of two Labyrinths left along The Seawall surrounding Stanley Park. They are my gifts to the People and City of Vancouver before I leave for home.

This labyrinth is located three fourths the distance between the Lions Gate Bridge and Siwash Rock which you can see in the distance.

For one full month I have been here in Vancouver, first to attend the United Nations’ World Urban Forum 3 followed separately by the World Peace Forum on the campus of University of British Columbia.

Often after the day’s events, I enjoyed biking or walking the entire nine kilometer length of the path affectionately known by locals as The Seawall.

Along The Seawall are a number of half moon shaped observation points with benches facing the Pacific Ocean.

With each trip past each of those observation points, The Seawall whispers to me grew, Siren-like, to leave a labyrinth or two or three before leaving.

A few days ago, I found myself in a hardware shop along Vancouver’s famous Commercial Drive mixing tints. The colour of the paint needed had to find balance between the blue of the ocean and the green and grays of the trees and rock cliffs of Stanley Park.

Passers-by all seemed to appreciate this new addition to The Seawall.

I ran out of both paint and time for a third Labyrinth just east of the Lions Gate Bridge. Next time I’m in Vancouver, hopefully I’ll complete this trilogy of Left Coast Labyrinths.
