so much is the quaint little places that you find hidden away from the world he torn is one such it is found in the east of the netherlands and is considered the venice of the north that's because there are no cars there only boats bikes and a lot of bridges the villages himes it just over two thousand five hundred people but it's become a popular tourist attraction and during the day there is a lot of traffic around both in and on the banks of the now. in the morning. it's like a village from another century. no traffic no noise but lots of water and small boats. and in the afternoon the

tourists have come in droves on bike on foot and they fill the town. one village two worlds how do they come together. martin from else lives and works in. his little bed and breakfast is a main port of call for passengers and crew. the last of past four years it's been pretty extreme ever since return appeared on the international monopoly game board and since bloggers started writing about just recently i guess it's actually. really famous in hong kong. one blogger here had eight thousand followers . the day to day life is a challenge everything from trash collection to deliveries has to be done on the water the venice of the netherlands is crowd it boats can only go in one direction of it can try the patients of any skipper and when the fire department or the doctor has to get through it can get really tight. before if you were

reasonably at a fire here we could only get there on the water. and raining so it wasn't a big problem. but when something like that happens when there are a lot of tourists around it can be hard for us to make it within the prescribed fifteen minute. life without roads it's a living for young. people spots in his workshop according to the historical he turned design and he doesn't mind if parts of the process are just as hard as they were a century ago. as resident. so we have got used to stocking up on supplies before it turns cold for instance. so we'll have everything we need for the winter and i think that's also got a certain charm if she shot him. people from all over the world are discovering that charm. works you might try to put their nice very night. in the evening by around five pm

even during peak season the tourists are gone again it's trying and the canals are back in local hands. from that quaint little village we had to a guy in italy well what was once a kharaj anyway that was until francesco check and i really got his hands on it and transformed it into a spacious botton but i was so impressed with the friend of a show that is the feature. report this week. from the outside this building doesn't look particularly special. welcome to my house come follow me. francesco check out alley lives at the back where you'd usually expect to find the garage. here's my house.

francesco shares this completely open plan apartment with his wife. the architect and his team came across the apartment in two thousand and twelve when it looked very different. it was a dilapidated garage used as a storage space. the space was a garage so was very sustainable economic terms and that we immediately see to put a shine he said this. impressive part and then we start to mixing it together to find their right to shooting for terms for this house. the first challenge was to open it up to daylight. the doors were replaced with french windows that open onto wood terrace. plants and greenery to blur the boundary between inside into. your view on to

a park as to the sense of spaciousness there was no need join stole a heating system the pipes on the ceiling provide warmth from the apartment block we try to maintain. was fearing us identity. open space as you can see and concentrating their main services in the middle of a black box. inside the black box is the bathroom and the turkish bath. it's a feature that gives the. room structure while replacing wall is. so heavy thing in here and speaks about geometry about alliance or faces volumes. black lines what's her face is black boxes all white boxes so we choose to put this big black box inside these i was in order to module eight there's hope and space to

modulate the flowing space from kitchen to leaving room to badger make such run. the bedroom is up some steps on top of the box. overlooks the kitchen. is just a mattress on the floor which is fine by francesca. why you have to sleep in a simple room to meter and seventy high i can clearly sleep here like am in a tent like in a camping something like that. sleeping sleeping and then they make everything else downstairs. you're trying just to hold meetings there's plenty of room. jordan game room is custom made. as are the kitchen fittings. the

guest bathroom. sink is made of concrete slabs origami like b.s. that is pared down and understated. they'd used to hide all the cows that house make living life in order to have empty spaces spaces freely to flow and the true for all the functional so every oldest talking is over there plexiglass and gold is a sort of aesthetic. fear of course bought on the backside there are. ok. francesco's garage is a work in progress he's planning a second black box to allow for extensions. the apartment comprises just ninety square meters but that's more than enough for him and his

wife. speaks. and i'll be talking to dress so they will leave like a dress so and now is that it really fits you like a perfect tailor made dress for. francesco check out early has created a home that snug and stylish practical and affordable. living in a garage sounds like it would be scruffy but not in this one here in beaumont you know. and if you're passionate about interior design then make sure you check out on page on you tube for all of the latest styles and tips the channel's code d w interior design. now i'm sure you've all heard of the von trapp family the fictional family of singers from the musical the sound of music well we came across

a real life modern musical gem and family who have foster gaining fans with. however i live with the miller family. and now ben sixty nine and. the follow on to. twenty five young women and a ponytail guitarist hit the streets to play twenty folk music there are inevitably going to draw or crowd. tom miller and his five daughters and you come is to the music industry they began their career busking.

in fact there are two more members of the mill a family the mother of the children simone and four year old noah who accompany the others on tour even if they don't perform themselves this miss a teases their tour bus in the summer and on weekends it serves as a hotel rehearsal space and kitchen it can't do more than eighty kilometers an hour so the mill is restricted towards mainly to northern germany taking in rostock environment and hen. i just have this in this indictment i need only began when mom started training as a yoga teacher and dad was at home with us. on. our have to do something to stop getting under each other's feet so we started making music to surprise mom when she got in. front of those and then we started playing for friends. and i'm never really enthusiastic and suggested we perform at a concert they were going to be organised. and we said sure we just need

more songs. when they perform a street musicians the mill is usually places. just tough and then they go off and spin the takings together. with comparisons in germany with the wildly popular telly family are unavoidable. but the militia struck them off. with. your mom was on those few following another path we'd like to make a name for ourselves with something different it's the kelly family it was around twenty five years ago some were gracious about it but we say when you're actually doing our own thing that's what we. have in the. family have already released a single and

a music video and they're currently recording a debut album they sing about every day life family wanderlust and love. last. few audiences they play for always want to know where the militia come from what this story is if they can live off their earnings as a band and if they really are a family. yeah this is concert. and today's world where only children have become the norm people have a real longing for community just the door to door literally drawn to the idea of a big family or an from long. lunch often the most informed and even if the family band can sometimes feel claustrophobic the joy of making music together easily outweighs the downsides. and the first cd is now dropped if you would like to check it out to finish up the show today we had high in the sky for

a bird's eye view of. a state in the south west of germany although drones are becoming a popular way to take pictures from above there are other ways to get special perspective and that is where the unusual usual technique of akim men day comes into play we want to see just how the photographer why. this is so important in the funny thing is that in mandarin in the normal perspective and elevating the camera gives me a whole new line of vision exciting it's like going on a voyage of discovery you're in places you think you know and suddenly there's this new vista it's literally eye opening for movie think. from your.

through tear through hundred years the cameras elevated up to thirty meters high you can see over almost all the buildings in most big cities here which gives you a real overview and that allows you to show a water tower for example within its urban context that's exciting because the main focus is not just one single building. if you know i didn't just visit the nine largest cities in baton burton better i was also sent to all forty five partner communes in seven different regions by stuttgart marketing agency all i sought out and looked at four hundred fifty different spots sites and motifs and now i can really say that bodden virgin birth is a fantastic state i can't get enough of it but even after touring for a year and can bring thirty thousand kilometers i just love it. thousand kilometer

. and list here but i think i keep turning the camera thirty degrees to the side and i basically photograph the entire three hundred sixty degree panorama in this way afterwards all the pictures are stitched together using a computer that gives you an extreme high resolution three hundred sixty degree panorama with a two gigabyte resolution and that's an incredible resolution of what we need if we're tasked with creating huge posters for entire convention center walls these pics are also there to present the regions and cities that conventions like the c.m.t. tourism trade fair using fantastic illumination was. here to be even with. i kind of envision the perspective of a pigeon flying around

a church tower so pretty close to the church clock face for example a money satisfied with a picture when it's something in the bureaus when people are moved by it because they're suddenly up close to something and say oh i know that but i've never seen it from this perspective when i began wondering where the camera was that took the picture that makes a good picture. of the thing you saw as your perspective on our set. i offered it up to date entirely . good i've traveled around the planet several times in the time home didn't mean much to me but today that's just the kind of quality that i experienced and see and feel. that. it is to me. and that is all we have time for today thanks for watching everyone bye for now.
