The entrance to the labyrinth. This one is hidden away in the middle of the woods, and was difficult to follow due to the leaves and mud. The challenge was part of the lesson.

created at night-time by projecting labyrinth pattern of light onto grass lawn from second floor of nearby building. Installation by Jim Buchanan, artist in residence.
Performers in The Venus Labyrinth, a performance-installation in which 28 rooms, each representing one of the 28 known areas of the human brain, are occupied by one woman. The audience member enters the labyrinth alone and then, dependent on which object they choose from a selection before them, embarks upon a completely unique journey, travelling deeper into the building, but also deeper into their own mind and memories than they may have been before.

In commemoration of World Environment Day 2011, the U.S. Mission sponsored Mona Sfeir’s “Recycling Labyrinth.” This large scale installation art work was composed of 8,000 plastic bottles, the same number of bottles that go into landfills worldwide every second. The exhibit was installed in the beautiful gardens of the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
The focus of this work of art was to call attention to the challenge of global waste management. “To reduce, reuse and recycle are very important steps in dealing with our waste and this strategy has long been the focus for many environmentalist," according to the artist, Mona Sfeir. "However, I made this piece together with local volunteers to emphasize that it is time for us to eliminate the concept of waste all together. We need to develop solutions that bring environmentalists and industrialists together with the common goals of living harmoniously with our planet and creating human prosperity—this can only happen if we redesign our products and packaging from the very beginning.”

This is The Labyrinth, a granite-paved maze set in a closely cropped lawn situated in the Armenian Heritage Park. It’s supposed to represent the journey of life. There is a splash fountain in the middle - a favourite with young children who want to cool off, but as you can see it was rather chilly when we were there.
Boston College has a useful article written by Rebecca Valette on how to approach walking the Labyrinth:
Walking the Meditation Labyrinth
Stand still for a moment at the opening of the labyrinth and take a deep breath. If you wish, say a brief prayer or invocation. Then, as you begin walking the labyrinth, focus on the path and stay centered in your body.
When you get to the center of the labyrinth, stay there for a while. Notice any sensations in your body, or if there are any changes in your awareness of self, time, or surroundings.
Take time to spend a few moments in each of the "petals" of the rosette. You may find this "flower" offers the perfect space for prayer.
The center marks the halfway point of your walk. To return follow the same path out to the entry point. Pause a moment at the end to bring closure to your meditation.
The labyrinth is a single path (or unicursal) labyrinth — there is only one path in, and the same path out. This means that you may meet people coming in the other direction.
It is perfectly all right to pass someone, if you wish to go at a different pace. Step into the next path as you pass, and then return to the path you were on.
If it is not too cold, you can walk the labyrinth barefoot. You can even run or dance along the path. Enjoy the contact with the ground.
Sing or hum to yourself as you travel the labyrinth. Or repeat a prayer. Or simply smile and enjoy the fresh air.
If you are with a group, you may want to hold hands and move together in a great spiraling dance. Or you can all walk meditatively in a single file.
At a quiet time, you may wish to do a Zen meditation walk. Place each foot directly in front of the other, move slowly, take one step with each breath and focus on your feet.
Five Paths through the Labyrinth
There are many approaches to the walk. Begin by quieting the mind and then follow the path that is right for you.
The Path of Silence:
Empty your mind of the hubbub and commotion of the outer world. Open your heart to the silence of the walk.
The Path of Image:
Follow the images or dreams that arise in your imagination.
The Path of Memory:
Walk the sacred path in the memory of a friend or family member who has passed away.
The Path of Prayer:
Recite a prayer, a Bible verse, or a line of poetry.
The Path of Questioning:
Concentrate on a question. Don't expect an answer. Simply be content to explore the possibilities.
I knew none of this when I passed it by, but I did wonder what those people were doing. Seems to me it would be better situated in California 😊
And it has nothing to do with the Freedom Trail.....
Inside "The Labyrinth" below Federation Square in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The Labyrinth is a 1600 m² maze of zig-zag off-form surface-corrugated walls. It is the major component of a unique passive cooling/heating system and provides environmental climate control for the square's vast glazed atrium.
Seen as part of Melbourne Open House.
In the labyrinth following main topics of the collection are on display: works from the prehistoric and Luristan Amlasch, from the early China, from the Han and Tang Ming period and from the Khmer Empire. The art of the 20th Century is represented with works by Hans Arp, Lovis Corinth, Jean Fautrier, Gotthard Graubner, Raymond Hains, Heerich, Francis Picabia and Kurt Schwitters.

The Labyrinth Garden offers a peaceful environment for seeking calm and inner balance - a sacred space that many people would find beneficial in this increasingly troubled and frantic world.
The ancient labyrinth form can be used as a tool for walking meditation, the walker's focus turning inward at each turn until they become centred and can find calm, inspiration or healing according to their needs.
The central sculpture is inspired by Ariadne's thread, after the ball of thread that Ariadne gave Thesus to enable him to retrace his steps and escape to the labyrinth of Greek mythology. This original piece has been created by translating the labyrinth's path into three dimensions.

Performers in The Venus Labyrinth, a performance-installation in which 28 rooms, each representing one of the 28 known areas of the human brain, are occupied by one woman. The audience member enters the labyrinth alone and then, dependent on which object they choose from a selection before them, embarks upon a completely unique journey, travelling deeper into the building, but also deeper into their own mind and memories than they may have been before.

The Labyrinth at Willen Lake with the Peace Pagoda in the background. I like this on black (press L)
I took advantage of our 'Indian Summer' to get out and get the early sun as it brings some shadows to the path of the Labyrinth in the cut grass
I would have liked a wispy or fluffy cloud sky but its October, was 18°C at 9am so I'm not complaining.....but one day I'll get all the right conditions......
