A labyrinth of winding walkways was constructed in 1672-73 in the gardens of the Palace at Versailles. Three hundred-thirty lead figures of animals from Aesop's fables decorated the thirty-nine fountains in the labyrinth. The Baroque style fountains and sculptures were difficult to maintain and were replaced with a simple "grove" of trees/shrubs in the 18th century. The picture shows two survivors of Aesop' animals from the labyrinth.

Labyrinth Orbweaver - Metepeira labyrinthea (female)
Location: Durham NC (USA)
Set up in a goldenrod in my yard. I spent some time getting different angles and lighting. This symmetric orb web next to the chaotic web (labyrinth) was difficult to photograph. The spider spent most of its time protected in the labyrinth with its egg sacks, visiting the orb web only to attend to prey.

Our first explore together in 2012. We walked the endless silent hallways and enjoyed the beautiful decay.

[SSGT Morris, Ella]: "Another corridor. Taylor, are you sure this is the most direct route to the infirmary?"
[CPL Clarke, Taylor]: "The GPS sure thinks so. Do you want me to recalculate another route?"
[CPL Aor'a, Tanis]: "If this is the shortest route, then I say we stick on it. I'm not getting lost in this fucking labyrinth."
[SSGT Morris]: "Damn, for once Tanis is right. Why am I getting a real bad feeling in my gut?"
[CPL Clarke]: "I'd put money on it partly being the mutilated corpses we keep encountering, but y'know, to each his own."
[CPL Aor'a]: "For the love of Jah just shut up. I'm already feeling sick. Wise guy comments are hardly appropriate."
[CPL Clarke]: "No, sorry. You're right. I'll shut up."
[SSGT Morris]: "You feeling uneasy too, Taylor? I guess that makes three of us."
[CPL Aor'a]: "It's not too late to-"
[SSGT Morris]: "We're not turning back until we complete the mission. Count yourself lucky that we haven't encountered anything actively hostile yet."
[CPL Clarke]: "Don't speak too soon. GPS is picking up movement in the south-east adjacent quadrant, past that barricade. What do we do?"
[SSGT Morris]: "Can we skirt around it?"
[CPL Clarke]: "No. Both the corridor and that access tunnel lead into the same place, give or take fifty odd metres."
[CPL Aor'a]: "Oh man, shit's about to get real."
[SSGT Morris]: "We have to take on whatever's in there. There's no other way, which means we need to consider our entry of approach.
...
Any ideas?"
[CPL Clarke]: "Toss a coin?"

I don't see labyrinth orbweavers (Metepeira sp.) that often here in Colorado, let alone out in the hub of their webs, but here we are, right in my Colorado Springs neighborhood. September 10, 2017. Happy Arachtober 6!
Back in December, 2019 I saw this labyrinth behind a church. I was visiting this church for a Christmas bazaar. I asked a church member about the labyrinth and was told that they sometimes have events there.
Labyrinth is 20" x 19" and is made of various green prints and solids with Kona White. She is a log cabin quilt coloured to resemble a labyrinth and is my entry into the Emerald Challenge.
