Current view from Cambie Bridge of what remains of my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
Even with the stones scattered, still a recognizable green grass Labyrinth path.
It’s been on my To ReBuild List, which I haven’t got around to yet.
Current view from Cambie Bridge of what remains of my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
Even with the stones scattered, still a recognizable green grass Labyrinth path.
It’s been on my To ReBuild List, which I haven’t got around to yet.
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.
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.
This cinder block tower is currently what you find when you reach the centre of my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, located on the west side of Cambie Bridge and north of Olympic Village Skytrain Station. . .
This Labyrinth I made from stones is located below the west side of the Cambie Bridge and north of Olympic Village station.
On recent visits, the number of concrete building cinder blocks placed by the Labyrinth’s entrance pathway has been increasing.
Now, they have all been moved from the outer wall, to the centre of the Labyrinth itself, and transformed into a Sculpture in its own right . . .
So I finally get around to investing time in repairing my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, and what happens not one full day after doing so?
Someone else goes and changes it and spray paints a tag on the face of the stone in the centre of the Labyrinth.
I hadn’t yet seen this image online and discovered the changes upon visiting it again on my own.
Look closely where the darker lines of dried grass are and you can still make out my original design in placing the rocks.
The ” pi ” / ” π ” triangle at the entrance was removed and reduced to a single line of stones.
I restored it.
And oil sticked a Red Heart on the Centre Stone, outlined in Blue and Yellow.
I opted not to take any of my own pictures.
I really really really really really need to make a maintenance visit to my Spyglass Place LabyrinthSpyglass Place Labyrinth . . .
I really need to make a maintenance visit to my Spyglass Place Labyrinth . . .
…And this would be my cue to stop procrastinating and return to my Spyglass Place Labyrinth for a major Maintenance visit!
For all the rain that Vancouver gets at other times of the year, nowadays with all the dry grass around, “Suncouver” is more like it.
Fascinating to observe how this stone Labyrinth I made beginning back in April has been changing with the seasons.
Spring, and Summer, so far.
The grass around it. The almost invisibility of it at ground level due to the tall grass.
Yet, through it all, my Spyglass Place Labyrinth remains easily viewed from the west side of the Cambie Bridge…
