(Post)Lentenblog 2008 :: Labyrinth 13

I wanted to cross-post some photos Gordon and I took using his camera on Tuesday.

The Labyrinth Project is progressing. On Tuesday evening, we went out to the site and roasted hot dogs (using the tripod legs of a music stand!) and worked on the labyrinth concentric circles (all measurements are now multiplied by 1.5).

For those of you keeping track, and wanting a new set of measurements, here's how it all shakes out:

covenant labyrinth 2.0
by the numbers

11-course labyrinth
54 feet diameter
22.125 inch-wide paths
Center circle is 13.5 feet across

Adding the lunations, the total diameter comes out to approximately 57.75 feet. In the case of a 54-foot labyrinth, the measurement from the center to the first circle would be 6.75 feet. Then each additional path is spaced at 22.125 inches intervals.

Later on I will transform the concentric circles into a labyrinth by incorporating the switchback turns, also called labryses. Then, finally, we'll make petals or lunations.

I'm still thinking of placing a hinged wooden box thing at the entrance that would contain a guest book, a pen, and maybe some prayer suggestions?

When I click the photos, they pop up in one window and I can't see the bottom ones.
