The Gate of the Year by Minnie Haskins 1908
I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.'
And he replied, 'Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!'
So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east.
So heart be still!
What need our human life to know
If God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife of things
Both high and low,
God hideth his intention.
Under the ancient city.... Pergamum, Turkey
Cuando arriba es abajo y cada esquina que doblas te lleva a otra encrucijada del laberinto, a otro pasillo sin final, para encontrar la salida solo debes seguir el camino hacia la luz.
A sawdust labyrinth in the cloister at Rievaulx.
Apparently a Labyrinth is a method of finding yourself, as opposed to a maze, which is a way of losing yourself !

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!)

I saw "Inception" yesterday. Well it really struck me and it made me think about the labyrinths we all have inside...I believe that the difficult thing is not to figure out how to get out of our labyrinth, but it's far more difficult to figure out IF we are willing to get out of it.
Thanks for your support, even though I can't answer to all your comments I always enjoy reading all of them :)

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.
On Sunday afternoon we went hiking at San Francisco's Lands End. There is a labyrinth made of small stones.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

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
"Labyrinth Dreams -Imagine"

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.
