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 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 :)

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.

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

Isn't this a beautiful and unique church? It's been so long since I've posted a photo of it. It's called Hallgrimskirkja. This is much easier to say if you are a dolphin. And drunk.
On my last trip, I made my fourth visit to this spot. I was graced with good clouds to complement the monotonemapping of the scene. The doors were locked, so I could not get inside. I had some bizarre visions of possibly climbing up the rock face to clamber in through the windows, but then remembered it wasn't a video game... dangit.

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.

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.

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
I woke up inspired by Labyrinth and this song in my head

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
