My favorite bookstore, called "Mikado" on Timmendorfer Strand (beach) on the Baltic Sea, is guarded inside and outside by countless Buddha statues and framed on all sides by a pond with water lilies, koi carp and other fish.

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!

Pick-up Sticks ... ;-)))

Sculptor Shayne Dark has integrated an unusual

piece of art in — and out of — the building. The installation which is named NOVA, consists out of eleven emerald green steel columns that pierce through the table-like construction, the tower seems to be sitting on.
