I love to visit labyrinths. I haven't spent extended time at any one of them, but I've seen many. Today, I took a workshop on the labyrinth -- an ancient tool for meditation and prayer. Its path inward, and outward again, can symbolize the journey of one's life.
This labyrinth was constructed in 2013; it took about three months to build. It's at Hopewell United Methodist Church, in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.
The Labyrinth: Walking a Sacred Path
This is a Seven Circuit Labyrinth.
You hardly need this labyrinthine pathway inlaid on the Stone Jetty at Morecambe to achieve a contemplative state at sunset. But there it is, it would be a shame not to take advantage.

I am also in the labyrinth with people waiting for the traffic signal to change.

Located in a charming city of Brazil (Nova Petrópolis), this place brings many tourists to run through this labyrinth. During the year the paths are changed, so in your next visit you will have to discover again.
Magic world of fungi
Morchella esculenta, (commonly known as morel mushroom and sponge morel) is a species of fungus in the Morchellaceae family of the Ascomycota. It is one of the most readily recognized of all the edible mushrooms and highly sought after. Each fruit body begins as a tightly compressed, grayish sponge with lighter ridges, and expands to form a large yellowish sponge with large pits and ridges raised on a large white stem. The pits are rounded and irregularly arranged.

This sweet falls drains out of the Labyrinth along Coyote Wall, and then runs under Old HIghway 8, drops over another falls down to Highway 14and then the Columbia River.

Labyrinth.
This was a surprise on our walk down Rocky Valley near Bossiney in Cornwall. Back then in the 1980s it was labelled as Celtic.
Nowadays there are 3 schools of thought as to its origins. One is that it is truly ancient, dating back to the Bronze Age. The Celtic idea still persists, and a 3rd is that it is more recent, dating back to the building of the nearby mill (now in ruins). My money’s on Celtic.
Another surprise when we got back to our car. We’d been robbed and all our holiday money stolen (I know - stupid stupid stupid leaving it in the car). No credit cards or cash points back then. The caretaker of our holiday cottage lent us £10.00 which was just enough to cover our petrol home to Leighton Buzzard (a hell of a lot of inflation since then!)and we sent him a cheque when we got home.
Camera - Minolta X300
Film - probably Kodak.
Fading adjusted with Enlight.
Obviously a successful hunting ground - the web of this labyrinth spider was awash with dead bits of insect. It is in the throws of a spring clean.
So the Labyrinth's a piece of cake is it? Well, let's see how you deal with this little slice...
Going through my box of figs and seeing Porpentina; her face seemed to be a perfect match for Jennifer Connelly? And thus a Labyrinth vignette just have to come next. In the classic 8x8 style.
Edit: I think her jeans are too dark. Light blue would fit better.
One of the many passages and rooms in the old pub The Banshee Labyrinth in Edinburgh. This pub is said to be the most haunted in Scotland and I was there to watch my son's band Megalomatic play a gig..
.
From their website:.
"Our venue proves why Edinburgh really is a Jekyll & Hyde city! Half of the club was once part of the infamous “underground Vaults” -once the haunt of criminals, thieves and the very unsavoury. It was in these former slums that many poor and innocent met a very grisly end! Ironically right next door, the front of the club; was once home to one of the richest men in Edinburgh, Lord Nicol Edwards. Edwards was Lord Provost of Edinburgh during the reign of King James VI/I of Scotland & England, and was reputedly a vile man – not only did he abuse his own wife horribly, but he is said to have had a basement dungeon beneath his house in which he at times personally tortured suspected witches before trial..
.
Now, along with many other spirits, ‘The Banshee’ haunts this Labyrinth. When refurbishing the venue a group of workmen believed they all heard a terrifying scream. A few hours later, one of the workmen received a phone call informing him that a family member had passed away..
.
Wherever you choose to sit back, relax and enjoy your drink, remember to be very careful. Many have placed their drink down simply to watch it slide straight off the table and smash against a wall as if thrown by an unseen force!".

Lalibela churches, all connected by a labyrinth thine of narrow and deep passages, tunnels, small canyons, and bridges…
I have Labyrinth on my mind because it is my four year wedding anniversary(and the day was subtly Labyrinth themed, as it has been my favorite movie since my parents brought me to see it as a child).
My grandmother's dress was altered to open up the neck and shoulders, wire skirt added underneath to "poof" out the bottom, and the sleeves pointed at the hand, all to resemble Sarah's dress. The chairs in the ballroom reception are the same chairs featured in the Labyrinth's ball scene, except in gold. Our first song was David Bowie's "As the World Falls Down" from the movie's soundtrack. And last, a small gold framed photo of Jareth and Sarah dancing was on the gift/guest book table : )
