Built in 1906, these chambers were used to collect the deadly poison which was a byproduct of the tin production process. The tin ore was heated in the large oven-like calciner to separate the tin. During this process arsenic and sulphur fumes were given off. These were drawn through tunnels in to the arsenic labyrinth and then out of the tall chimney stack next to the complex.
When operating the chambers were closed off with iron doors and the temperature inside would reach 600 degrees centigrade. After cooling mine workers would go in and scrape the grey/white arsenic powder of the walls and collect it. Safety equipment included cotton wool nose plugs, handkerchiefs for breathing through and arms smeared with clay. (a teaspoon of pure arsenic can kill 6 men!)
Labyrinth ... Guess what it is?

May 12, 2024: Walking the labyrinth at Borchard Community Park in Newbury Park, California. One second exposure with Reeheld app on iPhone. #flickrfriday #walk
For the last few months, I have been building a labyrinth in my yard. I took a break for the flu and then pneumonia in March and April, but finally have it pretty much roughed in. The lanes are walkable and the lines are pretty much rocked in. It's been an amazing experience and I hope that Mother Earth and the Green World love it as much as I do.

I visited the glass fabric in Hergiswil (Switzerland) and went through this impressive glas and mirror labyrinth!
You know how much I hate that
everybody just expects me to bounce back
Just like that

Leave me a place underground, a labyrinth,
where I can go, when I wish to turn,
without eyes, without touch,
in the void, to dumb stone,
or the finger of shadow.
Pablo Neruda

Not often that one can see a river take a 90° turn, but... it is obviously possible. I think there's a waterfall in that corner.
The lava field that you can see in this shot was formed in the 10th century, after the Settlement. Its dimensions (52 km long and 7 km wide) suggest that the eruption lasted for months. A characteristic of this area are the labyrinths of caves and tunnels created by the flow of molten lava, which continued running under a crust of already solidified lava.

I found this large labyrinth covering the entire floor of a little church near where I live. There is a group that does monthly labyrinth walks (meditative, symbol of life's journey, etc. (I think)) and they put candles around the maze. This was the first I had heard of anything like this and really shone a light on the existence of this small labyrinth community.
I got permission to take some photos before the participants arrived. This was shot with an ultra wide angle 12mm lens on full frame.
Jorge Luis Borges: "The Garden of Forking Paths" (1941) presents the idea of forking paths through networks of time, none of which is the same, all of which are equal. Borges uses the recurring image of "a labyrinth that folds back upon itself in infinite regression" so we "become aware of all the possible choices we might make".
Macromondays theme: "Monochrome". Croped, so this time no SOOC.

"Sono così i labirinti, hanno vie, traverse e vicoli ciechi, e c'è chi dice che il modo più sicuro di uscirne è di continuare a camminare e girare sempre dallo stesso lato, ma questo, come siamo obbligati a sapere, è contrario alla natura umana."
Josè Saramago, L'anno della morte di Ricardo Reis

Sabato mattina ho avuto l'onore di partecipare all'inaugurazione della mostra "Luce su Venezia - Viaggio nella fotografia dell’Ottocento" a Villa Pisani,
in qualità di finalista del concorso fotografico "Luce su Venezia - Viaggio nella fotografia contemporanea"!
Un luogo meraviglioso, Villa Pisani, con un parco da favola!
e questa foto è stata scattata dalla torretta al centro del famoso labirinto in bosso, all'interno del parco! :-)
se qualcuno è di passaggio, può votare le foto finaliste al Museum Cafè! :-PPP

I imagined a labyrinth of labyrinths, a maze of mazes, a twisting, turning, ever-widening labyrinth that contained both past and future and somehow implied the stars. Absorbed in those illusory imaginings, I forgot that I was a pursued man; I felt myself, for an indefinite while, the abstract perceiver of the world. The vague, living countryside, the moon, the remains of the day did their work in me; so did the gently downward road, which forestalled all possibility of weariness. The evening was near, yet infinite.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
