Rest in peace my beautiful Dad.

Thank you for your views, faves and comments.
Have a great weekend.
In the midst of the chaos, we pray for peace.
All condolences go to the people who lost their loved ones any where.

I need to get some new candles. I burned right through the bottom of one of the yellow ones tonight ....

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
It was great to be there some days before Christmas. I enjoyed it very much! Somehting to speed-down.
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
