I used Google Gemini to make this comic strip based on my comic idea with a few changes. (I am too busy making mazes to make all of the illustrations needed). Come back each Wednesday for a new comic strip. All comic strips will be housed in this archive.
Doyoumaze Comic Strip #30 - 30 minutes
We all know what group of delivery drivers would leave this at the entrance, take a picture and mark as delivered. I’m talking old school delivery when it was good.
Issue #135 in my comic book cover collection features the maze of an Oriole and is titled Tweet Dreams. I used AI for the background and gave a shout out to Baltimore. I have been to Camden Yards but could not find any photos I had taken, thus the fake version.
My comic book cover mazes are archived by year:
Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1 - 53)
Maze of the Week #239 features Monastery Ad Dayr (also spelled Ed-Deir, el-Deir, ad-Deir), located in Petra, Jordan. The monastery was believed to have been carved in the 1st century. It is located as part of the Petra Archaeological Park. Read about it on Wikipedia.
Here is a video all about the Monastery:
I have previously made some other religious site mazes featured in this post:
9 Mazes of religious buildings from around the world
The maze: I went single color for the building and black outlines for the background rocks so the building is highlighted. The maze is relatively easy.
Download is available on the home page. Happy Maze-ing !

Let’s talk about public labyrinths in Utah. I have selected 3 of the best (there are about 25 total) that are accessible to the public from around the state and are worth a visit. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder.
Before we get to my recommendations for Utah I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did. If you are interested in knowing things like what the largest labyrinth is in the US, where the Northernmost, Southernmost labyrinths are in the US, and similar questions, it is worth a read: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. All of these Utah answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from Utah:
Here is how Utah compares to the USA. Utah is not a fan of labyrinths. 40th most, 49th most labyrinths per capita. Not many indoor labyrinths and they are below average in size.

Why visit a Labyrinth ?
Labyrinths are ancient and mysterious symbols that have been used for centuries for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. They are also a lot of fun to explore! If you're looking for a unique and challenging experience, walk a labyrinth with intention - it often leads to self-discovery. Personally, I like to walk labyrinths between dawn and sunrise or at sunset until dusk, but any time of day works. You may not realize it, but there is probably a labyrinth near where you live. Today we explore…

An 11 circuit labyrinth made from concrete and cobblestone that can be easily found with it’s entry on Google Maps. The labyrinth is surrounded by trees and benches decorated with mosaic art.

5 TIPS FOR VISITING A LABYRINTH
Set an intention for your walk so you can walk with purpose. It could be prayer, reflection, meditation, contemplation, or openness.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as you will be doing a lot of walking.
Bring water with you, especially if you are visiting on a hot day.
Take your time and enjoy the experience. There is no need to rush through a labyrinth.
Be respectful of other visitors. This includes not making noise and being respectful if walking with other people.
