I make my way through this labyrinth and my sense of direction is lost like the sound of my steps
Scent of dried flowers and I'm walking through the fog walking through the fog ....

Taken inside an abandoned hot-blast iron furnace at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in Berks County, PA. This particular furnace was built to try to keep the ironworks site afloat of technological changes in the late 19th century, but proved uneconomical for resource transport reasons. The furnace was only in use for 4 years, and the site continued with its traditional (and outmoded) cold-blast iron refining. Because of these technological shifts, however, the site eventually fell into financial struggles and was ultimately abandoned before being reclaimed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under Franklin Roosevelt.
This could be the remains of a circular maze billed as the Labyrinth. Or it could just be a bunch of old bricks.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (German: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), also known as the Holocaust Memorial (German: Holocaust-Mahnmal), is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. The stelae are 2.38m (7.8') long, 0.95m (3' 1.5") wide and vary in height from 0.2 m to 4.8m (8" to 15'9"). According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. A 2005 copy of the Foundation for the Memorial's official English tourist pamphlet, however, states that the design represents a radical approach to the traditional concept of a memorial, partly because Eisenman did not use any symbolism. An attached underground "Place of Information" (German: Ort der Information) holds the names of all known Jewish Holocaust victims, obtained from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.
Building began on April 1, 2003 and was finished on December 15, 2004. It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005 and opened to the public on May 12 of the same year. It is located one block south of the Brandenburg Gate, in the Friedrichstadt neighborhood. The cost of construction was approximately €25 million.

FINGER LABYRINTH is a 4 circuit portable, personal labyrinth sculpture that resembles carved plaster. Each finger labyrinth will be made to order and based on the purchaser's selection of a base color.
Each finger labyrinth pattern is based on a 4 circuit circular labyrinth measuring 9 inches in diameter & approximately 1.25 inches in height. The foundation of this piece is a styrofoam disc with a built-up path made of air dry clay. The foundation is then paper mached and/or filled in with paper clay for durability & to make the surface resemble plaster. It is painted with white acrylic paint with base color peeking through peeking through the crackled surface. The surface is then finished with a protective coating that make the path smooth & durable.
It feels very solid, like a wooden finger labyrinth, but is lightweight like a plastic one. The texture is smooth and comfortable and resembles a ceramic piece. Each labyrinth comes with a hole to hang on the wall when not in use, but it also can be propped against an easel or a books.
It is a piece of art as well as a spiritual or healing tool! As a tool a labyrinth is meant to be "walked" with the finger as a form of mediation. Finger labyrinths are portable versions of a walking labyrinth, so my labyrinths are made for people to be able to have the benefits of a labyrinth in constrained contexts!

LABYRINTH OF LIGHT
The labyrinth has long been used for meditation, prayer and sites of ritual in various cultures around the world. Created with over 700 pure beeswax candles, the winter solstice labyrinth invites you to warm yourself in a self-guided ceremony intended to help release old attachments and envision new possibilities as the darkest night of the year births a new season.
Your destination may be closer than you thought.

Penny stayed on in Portland for a few days after WPPD, and I had the great pleasure of joining her for an outing to The Grotto, a Catholic sanctuary. She kindly posed for this photo in the labyrinth.
