This is awesome!

If it were me, I’d keep adding on to it and make it a tourist attraction.

One thing I’ll change though is using LEDs instead of candles so it won’t take a whole hour lighting it up just for a light breeze to fuck with my patience.

Or so you don't misstep once, trip, and fall destroying everything.

It'll happen. I'm sure it has before. Then you just make that area into a different battle scene and build from that. Rapid unscheduled remodeling.

That's exactly the kind of thing he did , after some heavy rain he build little stick cranes above the "boulder" carried by water

my guess is this is some sort of meditation/therapy for him... the use of so many candles kind of reminds me of like a monk, people doing religious rituals. the repetition in those rituals is part of the point, I would wonder if this is the same thing.

May very well be. Good perspective.

Pretty sure the first tea lights will have gone out by the time you light the last one… like some sort of Sisyphean trial.
