Labyrinth by Slipe Drove, Pinchbeck West According to Lauren Artress, “A maze is designed to make you lose your way, while a labyrinth is designed to help you find your way.” A labyrinth is typically circular (though square ones also exist), with a single winding path leading to the centre. The design has been known and used for at least 4000 years, as surviving art works attest. For Christians it symbolises the journey of faith; the famous labyrinth in the floor of Chartres Cathedral, a pilgrimage site in France, has been walked by pilgrims since 1205. See this article by Sarah James in Earth & Altar <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://earthandaltarmag.com/posts/qs6pevk77i0lhpqlvv8w0u23f1sbwk" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://earthandaltarmag.com/posts/qs6pevk77i0lhpqlvv8w0u23f1sbwk">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> .

Glass cats eye An odd thing in the middle of the road. A solid glass lump with a raised centre section. This must be the modern version of the old fashioned catseye. A tricky thing to image, I did not fancy bending any lower in the middle of a busy road.
