What means 'Pooh sticks'?

Daniel

Poohsticks
a game in which two or more participants each drop a stick simultaneously into a running body of water on the upsteam side of a bridge; the winner is the person who's stick first appears on the other side (or alternately, crosses the pre-established finish line first). The game was first documented in 'The House at Pooh Corner' by A. A. Milne.

Thank you, Captrees.

I didn't know.
I've heard often the name 'Winnie de Pooh' but never saw or read about.

[quote="Mountain"]This is the bestest model scenery that I have ever seen! I have seen some very excellent scenery out there, but to make this water come to life like that as well is really something!

Back to your message in the quote: I gave the muses their 98% already.
They said it was not good for you nor for me to take your statement in the above quote so they insisted I should let youy see there are plenty of modellers doing much more realistic work than I do. For example in this link (just to mention one of them):

https://www.buntbahn.de/viewtopic.php?t=13540

But the muses also mentioned it has no sense comparing 'degree of realism' or any other aspect if one is not sure about the place and function a model had in the only world and context where every model belongs and could be fully appreciated: the personal development in the modeller.

To make it more clear:

If I am a retired engineer and have just completted scratchbuilding in brass an amazingly good working live steam model of a 'Virginean Triplex' in H0 scale that makes smelt the mouths of all rivetcounters and my little four years old neighbor has just gave a try building his first model scene where one barely can recognice a house as such thanks it's red roof, his model presents a much bigger step than my steaming Virginenan Triplex. Doesn't it?

That is why it has no sense at all to compare! :-)

I can see two black things. Are they mice?

Wait. Zoomed in. Some other things. What are they?

They are my neighbors living in one of the small floating islands.
What you see in the photo are the four kids born a couple of days ago and Mr. & Mrs. Whistle, their parents.
