The Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery (also known as the Twin Groves Temple) is a large Buddhist temple complex situated in the Toa Payoh district of Singapore.
We were keen to visit this temple as my parents had done so back in the 1960s, though little of the present structure was recognisable from their photos since the complex has been greatly enhanced and expanded since the 1970s, all in traditional Chinese style. There were a few items here we did recognise though in the sculptures of the main prayer hall (where photography is no longer allowed) and the curious painted wooden dragon-fish hanging in a minor corner, that had intrigued me in one of the old 60s slides (I'd been determined not to leave till we'd found that, despite arriving so close to closing time!).
Today the surroundings of the temple seem rather unsympathetic, with concrete apartment blocks of Toa Payoh's extensive housing estates and a busy main road closing in on the complex from all sides.
Here's another LEGO design project based upon Jim Henson's Labyrinth the Movie. Obviously, I love the movie ;) If you like it you can support it on LEGO Ideas at the following link: ideas.lego.com/projects/112602. Thanks, BuildFiend :)
This is a small spider molting in the woods today, and it's leaving its exuviae behind -- the shed skin after the molt. This is a Labyrinth Spider (genus Metepeira, Araneidae), see this photo of the same spider. (San Marcos Pass, 27 June 2023)

I have a set for labyrinths. They're constructed for a spiritual exercise or journey. There's a variety of ways to use a labyrinth, but usually, they're laid out in a spiral toward the center. The one we found in the Five Senses Garden, part of the Green Belt around Hershey, PA, involves turns. When we got close to the center, and felt we had reach the point at which we would rest, the path turned away, only to bring us there later.
How symbolic of life! As a pastor, I thought this labyrinth was wisely designed.

彼にいちばん初めに会ったのはLabyrinth'10初日の越後湯沢駅。
自転車を組み立てていると「いい自転車だね。ほんといい自転車だ」と話しかけてきた。
そのときの印象ははっきり言って胡散臭かった。
なにせこれから山に行くのにスケートボード持ってるわ、目の直上までのバンダナと破れた洋服で海賊のような風貌。その上185cmくらいか？でかい!
話を聞くと「さっきカナダから帰ってきたLabyrinthのために。チケットは友達が持っていてその友達は来れなくなった。それをこれから新潟まで受取りに行く」とそんな感じだった。
その場は彼は新潟へ向い、自分は苗場グリーンランド目指すため別れた。
なんとなく彼はチケットは受取ることは出来ずもう会うこともないだろうと思った。
...
翌日自分の予想に反して彼はLabyrinthの会場にいた。
どうやらちゃんとチケットは受取り新潟からヒッチハイクで来たらしい。
でかいのですぐわかった。
その日はテントとかシェルターとか住居を持っていなくて会場の奥の東屋で夜を越したようだった。
周りの人たちが帰っていく最終日、彼は僕の相方の帰ってしまったテントに住み付き最後の夜をいっしょに余りもののお酒を飲んで過ごした。
その後新潟の海岸で野宿したり彼の実家に泊めてもらったり数日間いっしょに過ごすことになった...

Down on Sherkin Island during the summer and rushing to catch up with the youngsters I spotted this spider. My first thought was that it was a "Funnel Web Spider". It is not very sharp, indeed it is not sharp at all, but it does give some idea of the little creature. He is there sitting at the entrance to his very complex web waiting patiently for some callers. The deeper c.olour around him is a tunnel approx. 2 inches long and surrounded by looser filaments. I looked it up on the web and it is not a FWS as I thought but appears to be a "Labyrinth Spider" It was a lively wee fellow and darted up and down its tunnel at the slightest movement.
Wikipedia has the following:
Agelena labyrinthica is a species of spiders in the family Agelenidae. It is a widespread species in Europe.
A. labyrinthica build flat plate surface webs connected to funnel-shaped retreats similar to labyrinths, which are typically constructed between low lying grass and vegetation.[1] These webs can be at ground level, or up to 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) from the ground, however, the majority are found approximately 60 centimetres (24 in) off of the ground.[1][3] These spiders are fairly common in Europe and Central Europe, and are typically concentrated in areas near forests and low lying vegetation, as well as in dry grasslands.
Die Engelstrompeten (Brugmansia) sind eine Pflanzengattung aus der Familie der Nachtschattengewächse, deren ursprüngliches Verbreitungsgebiet in Südamerika liegt, die jedoch wegen ihrer auffälligen Blüten inzwischen weitläufig kultiviert wird. Durch den hohen Anteil an Alkaloiden sind alle Pflanzenteile giftig.
A labyrinth is a single path or unicursal tool for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation. Labyrinths are thought to enhance right brain activity.
You enter a labyrinth through the mouth and then walk on the paths or circuits. The walls keep you on the path. The goal is in the center of the labyrinth. When you reach it, you have gone half the distance – you now need to turn around and walk back out.
The Labyrinth Society is an international organization whose mission is to support all those who create, maintain and use labyrinths, and to serve the global community by providing education, networking and opportunities to experience transformation.
This quilt was made using Red Pepper's Labyrinth quilt pattern. I can highly recommend her patterns, just so easy to follow and great photos. Fabrics used for this quilt are a mix of Denyse Schmidt, Heather Ross and Aneela Hoye beautiful fabrics!

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 : )
The labyrinth at the Naramata Centre. My dad had been here before and particularly wanted to share it with my aunt(his sister) and I. We were joined by a couple others from the family reunion. It was a wonderful experience - a nice meditative walk.
If you're ever in the area of Naramta, British Columbia, this little gem is well worth seeking out - if you're into this sort of thing. It is quite secluded and surrounded by trees.
