Land's End Labyrinth, San Francisco

A stone labyrinth on a rocky promontory at Land's End in San Francisco, overlooking the Golden Gate strait. Built by artist Eduardo Aguilera in 2004, it has been repeatedly vandalized and rebuilt — each iteration a meditation on impermanence. The site offers views of the Marin Headlands, the Pacific Ocean, and the ruins of the Sutro Baths. Though modern, its placement at the western edge of the continent on a cliff above crashing waves channels the ancient tradition of labyrinth-as-threshold between land and sea, known and unknown. At 11,996 km from Giza, one of the most distant labyrinth sites.
