Early Morning Labyrinth Walkers at the recently repainted Grange Park Labyrinth . . .
Before it was depainted.
Capture-wise,
The canary yellow outline of the Labyrinth Design works well in contrast to the Giant Wall of Sky Blue colouring the south wall Grange Park facing side of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
From now on,
Maybe I will no longer repaint the Grange Park Labyrinth using shades and tints of Blue.
Yellow may be the way to go.
Wonderful moment of Fog engulfing Hillcrest Park,
And the Medicine Walk Labyrinth.
Looking carefully,
You may recognize the Four Colour Medicine Wheel plus “Tsí Tkaròn:to” painted within the South/Red Quadrant . . .
More excellent fog. An embarassment of fogs. pic.twitter.com/ztg8MWGlPk

That’s me.
I was painting in the orange colour Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada logo and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation logo inside an open canvas space within the East/Yellow Quadrant of The Medicine Walk Labyrinth in Hillcrest Park, Toronto.
Middle of August 2022,
Wading in the Wading Pool Labyrinth
In Christie Pits Park, Toronto . . .
Saturday Afternoon spent chalking three Labyrinths in and around the Central Playground of Brampton’s Chinguacousy Park.
I was so focused on making the Labyrinths,
I only took a few photographs.
And altogether forgot to take any photographs of my third Labyrinth, a pass-through baltic design closer to the spray pad area.
It was that time of day,
Before the photographer’s Golden Hour when natural lighting is at its best for image captures,
When long shadows make it challenging to properly photograph the Labyrinths I draw in chalk on the ground.
So I only took two more less than satisfactory photographs to simply remember and remind myself of the day.
People walking the Labyrinths came in waves, when one would walk, many then followed.
Perhaps as many teens and grown-ups walked them as the total number of children who kept returning to re-walk them.
I lost track of time and was mostly in the moment.
Making Labyrinths has become my Mindfulness practice as much as walking Labyrinths.
Around the largest of the afternoon’s three Labyrinths,
I chalked the word for Labyrinths in a number of Brampton’s most spoken Languages.
Somehow the late afternoon rays of sunlight peeking through the trees and landing upon my multi-colour chalk Labyrinth,
Looks very much like the colours of sunlight passing through the stained glass windows of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, as it illuminated the Labyrinth inside the Church.
Image I took of the Labyrinth inside Grace Cathedral in SF back in 2013.
“Not sure what this fabulous dance with scarves was all about but I do like it!
Wouldn’t mind joining in if they’d let me….
Spotted on my lunch break in the park.

First photograph found online of my “New” Labyrinth in Grange Park, Downtown Toronto.
When the Fred Hamilton Playground Wading Pool is dry,
Which nowadays because it’s summer means evenings and overnight,
Lines of my Roxton Road Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool remain visible,
Meaning this Wading Pool Labyrinth remains walkable…
For now.
Aerial Drone image of my Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
I rotated the photograph 180 degrees so top and bottom of the Labyrinth is now north and south respectively.
Many stones have disappeared yet the well worn path remains walkable.
When I return to Vancouver, InshAllah,
The first Labyrinth I will visit and repair is this one,
The Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
