Almost five years,
Since I placed the first stone and began building the Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Alhumdulillah,
It’s still there, and still walkable.
By now,
Thousands upon Thousands of Footsteps have trodden this well worn, and well visible, path.
InshAllah,
It will see at least another five years!
An older photograph,
Captured when my Vancouver Public Labyrinth was still new, yet already well-trodden . . .
That’s me,
Sunday Evening,
Placing one of the final stones before I stopped Labyrinth Building for the day,
Making my Stone Labyrinth in Humber Bay Park West.
These two photographs show the progress of building out Lane 5 of my still-in-progress Stone Labyrinth in Humber Bay Park West in Mimico . . .
Second photograph in the wild,
Shows Etobicoke Point Labyrinth under an overcast Toronto sky . . .
So much more motivation for me to finish making it into a 7 or 9 or 11 Lane Labyrinth !
First Photo in the Wild of my Etobicoke Point Labyrinth to appear online . . .
This drone image of Habitat Island captured by Vancitypixels was inspired by Jeremy Lee’s Drone Image of the same.
Like Jeremy’s drone photograph of Habitat Island in False Creek,
This image incidentally also includes TWO of my Labyrinths !
First one, Vancouver Public Labyrinth, is easily visible and shown here.
The second one is barely visible,
That’s my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth I made on the round cement art podium in Hinge Park.
This drone photograph was captured around 7 p.m. on June 6 2020.
It’s that time of year when the grass grows tall and the rocks outlining the design are almost hidden from view, yet the Path of The Labyrinth remains well worn, and The Centre is visible.
My Friend and Brother in Islam, Jeremy, on this Friday, Direct Messaged this photograph of him standing inside The Centre of Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Time of year when Grass grows tall,
Stones outlining my design are almost hidden from view,

To my knowledge,
this is the first aerial drone image of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Grateful to Jeremy Lee in Vancouver for sharing his drone image on Instagram.
His intention was to capture Habitat Island,
My Stone Labyrinth being in view was a bonus.
I rotated the Instagram image 90 degrees to reflect a true east-west orientation.
Incidentally,
The round cement circle you can see in Hinge Park is the location of my Green Masking Tape Labyrinth !
My Hinge Park Labyrinth has since become a Ghost Labyrinth with barely a walkable masking tape outline remaining at present.
Little hard to see the path,
Yet my stone Ambleside Park Labyrinth in West Vancouver is still there,
For both dogs and their owners to walk . . .
I made this Labyrinth, originally it was a different design.
Happy to see it’s still there and still appreciated . . .
“This is a stone Labyrinth that is at Ambleside Beach. It is a simple one yet very powerful. Labyrinths are sacred geometries that can help you to shift and transcend. Here’s how they work……
Before entering you set your intention of what you desire. It could be to feel more peace in your life, let go of a situation that’s bothering you, be grateful, get a new job. The list is endless. It’s whatever you want to work on.❤️
You focus on your intention as you walk thru the labyrinth, paying close attention to your thoughts and feelings! Letting them go as you walk. Keep focusing on your intention until you get into the middle. Relax there for as long as you wish to❤️
Now it’s time to walk back out. As you are walking notice your thoughts and feelings🌹. These are keys🌟🌟🌟
I always feel lighter, freer and just happier.🙏 Labyrinths are all over – this one is at Ambleside Beach on the north shore in Vancouver. Check them out – there surely will be one in your city. ❤️🙏”
Grass around the stone outline of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth has grown tall.
It you didn’t already know there was a Labyrinth here, looking towards it from False Creek Seawall pedestrian path way, you’d miss it entirely.
Nevertheless, a few stones are peeking through the grass hinting it’s still here . . .
An overdue Maintenance Visit to this Stone Labyrinth I made last year in Ambleside Park in West Vancouver . . . is due . . .
