Maze of the Week #35 - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Maze

August 29, 2022

Maze of the week #35 rocks. I am happy to present a maze of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. If you are a fan of music, and who isn’t ?, then you would love to visit the rock hall. I have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times. It is featured on the site this week because it was dedicated on September 1, 1995. The beautiful building was designed by architect I.M Pei. It reminds me of The Louvre which I also recently mazed. As someone who has lived in downtown Cleveland, I should mention that there are speakers around the downtown that play music from the RRHOF in the Summer. One of the speaker stacks is in this maze, and sits just outside the museum.

Learn more about the Rock Hall, and maybe even plan a visit.

Here is a photo of the museum on the shores of Lake Erie:

The mazes: I made this 4 times, each with different colorations. The face of the building changes colors based on the light and weather. The first version is where I landed, but I have included my second favorite also below. Note that the maze is poster sized and formatted to 24 x 42. It looks best printed on a large piece of paper.

And I assure you, this blue variation is also how the museum looks at times !

I hope you enjoy the maze. Maze downloads are available.

Maze of the Week #34 - Bok Tower Gardens Maze

August 22, 2022

Maze of the week #34 features the Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida, and specifically the Bok Gardens Tower. It has a long and interesting history and you can learn all about the gardens and plan a visit by visiting their website. It hosts events and can be rented for weddings.

Here is a photo of the tower:

The maze: I went with black and white. I have considered colorizing it, but decided against it because of the individual shade each brick has. I like that the bricks made for a nice grid construction.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Downloads of the maze are available.

Maze of the Week #32 - The Louvre Maze

August 8, 2022

I am excited to present my maze of the week #32, The Louvre, the most visited museum in the world in Paris, France. I was fortunate enough to visit it for many hours one day and it is huge and completely worth your time. It is home to the Mona Lisa (smaller than you think) and the Venus de Milo. It originally opened its doors on August 10, 1793, thus the launch on the site this week. Happy Birthday.

There is a lot to say about this museum and if you want to find out more, Wikipedia The Louvre or visiting the museums website in English would be a good start.

How about a quick tour of the museum in 4K?

You can find many photos of the Louvre so I will assume you know what it looks like. Let’s get right into the mazes:

The Mazes: My first version is a standard black and white version:

And my second and third versions are something new, mixed media mazes using a version of my maze overlayed on a photo of the Louvre. I could not find the photographer to properly attribute them as this photo is found on many websites. This version also is wide angle to showcase more of the wonderful nighttime photo. I did 2 versions, a white background and one that uses the reflection of the buildings color.

I hope you enjoy the mazes. Downloads are available at the mazes permanent home.

Maze of the Week #31 - Ponce De Leon Lighthouse Maze

August 1, 2022

Our Maze of the week #31 features the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse and Museum located in Ponce Inlet, Florida. Apparently this is one of the tallest lighthouses in the US, so now you know. What really attracted me to this particular lighthouse was the vibrant color. When you see a landscape photo or video of the lighthouse you’ll notice it can be seen from far away and in looks great against the lush green hues on the ground.

Here is a great place to learn about the Lighthouse. Maybe you are wondering why I am featuring the maze this week ? Well, It was designated as a NHLD (National Historic Landmark District) on August 5, 1998.

I love drone footage…

The Maze: the beautiful color was difficult to get just right, but this is where I landed. Depending on the photo you look at and the lighting this is probably right a few times a day just like a broken clock ! Is it orange ? Is it pink ?
