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

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 ?

Maze of the Week #30 - Grandview Hotel Sign Maze

Maze of the week #30 returns the the state of Idaho with another sign maze, this one of the Grandview Hotel Sign. Located in Boise, Idaho the Grandview Hotel is an independently owned hotel that as far as I can tell does not have a website. But what it does have is a nice sign.

Photos of the sign: If you would like to see a great photo of this sign I suggest roadarch. I am also a fan of this street view from Google Maps !

Maze of the Week #29 - Thread City Crossing Maze

Maze #29 features the Thread City Crossing in Willimantic, Connecticut. While some bridges can be boring, and most are, but this particular bridge connecting highways 32 and 66 features 4 bronze statues of frogs sitting on spools of thread. And you are probably thinking, huh ? Why on earth is there a frog on a spool of thread? Well it has to do with The Great Bullfrog Battle and a local cotton mill. Read the story on this atlas obscura page.

And if you want to go long form just on the frog battle, this Wikipedia entry works.

Who wants to watch some drone footage of the bridge ?

Let’s start with a photo of one of the bridge statues:

Maze of the Week #28 - Playhouse Square Sign Maze

A sign maze we have seen before finally gets its week as a feature. The Playhouse Square Sign is a prominent sign in the theater district of Cleveland, Ohio on Euclid Ave.

Some information about Playhouse Square in Cleveland, Ohio

Playhouse Square is the largest performing arts center in the United States outside of New York City. The district was originally built in the 1920’s and opened in February 1921. If you ever get a chance to attend an event in one of the 8 theaters, you will find some beautiful architecture (that can be rented for photography purposes). You can learn about the history of the zone on the Playhouse Square districts website. It also features the largest outdoor chandelier in the world !

If you have an hour and want to learn about the district, here is an wonderful high quality program from WVIZ and PBS.

Or you can just watch the one minute drone footage that shows the area lit up (including the sign I mazed for this week). You also get a great view of the famous Playhouse Square chandelier. Tours of Cleveland has great information about it : “The Playhouse Square chandelier is the largest outdoor chandelier in the world. It is made up of 4,200 crystals. It took about a year to construct. It proudly hangs on Euclid Ave at E. 14th St. suspended by a 44 foot steel structure.”

A photo I took that I used to make the maze !

The maze and artwork:

I present 2 versions of Playhouse Square Sign artwork. One the full color maze, and the other version a black and white drawing without any maze.

And here is the original artwork before any colors or a maze were added.

I hope you enjoy the maze. You can find downloads of the maze where I keep it’s permanent home.
