nico he's in germany to learn german but. this is just why not with him. it's simple online on your mobile and free. stuff. d.w.b. learning course because of a german maybe c. i t twenty i don't think it. tells them too and. i'm telling the famous potato.

ironic welcome to another edition of euro max from a light shows the heavy snow is we've got a mixed bag on the program here's a look at what's coming up. a light touch how one artist paints on a canvas of darkness. music exports germany's top fifty days of rock dance floors across the globe. and are straight import a berlin restaurant serves up a hearty winter dish from stop for. we start off with an artist who uses darkness as his canvas and lighting as his brush who tommo from finland and turns to fear with his creations which are actually photographs with longer exposures and a moving source of light such as a flashlight any background is fair game for tom oh from snow covered forest to abandoned houses when we visited him in his studio in helsinki.

when hano who plays with light the results are magically glowing flowers of the night blinking lamps turn into radiant creatures from another world. who calls this art light paintings they are photos taken with a long exposure. he learned the technique about ten years ago from a friend. and that was literally like a magical moment. like maybe a week or two after that i just decided i'd have to you know tried by myself i just bought my first the s.l.r. camera and then just start making you know my own experiments so i can almost every

night. i'm like of weeks passed on maybe months passed on i i was like really hooked on that. every like painting begins with a sketch on paper. what one likes to design best are organic forms that look like flowers or plants. later he transposes the lines and points into sequences of motion. people just ask the tower how you how you just do it and i'm like i'm just trying to explain that it's pretty simple stuff but you just have to focus on the moment you have to practice all the movements like before having to go doing this like a choreographic that you argue. in his studio in helsinki prepares his next photo shoot. to create pictures like this he needs to use long exposures depend. in the background between

three and ten minutes. very precisely in a studio the sequence of movements that will go into the outdoor shot. imitates the lines in his sketch using light. everything that i do it's like really happening on the picture it's not made with the photoshop or some kind of modeling software it's just like the real thing and that is something that is quite rare these days because like almost like every picture that you see on the internet it's no it's has some post-processing in. the thirty seven year old artist uses many different sources of light for his pictures flashlights light strings and light bulbs and some new kinds of lamps that he built himself. this is like i want to just like to lose recently simple but it just

works. just this kind of christmas better parade it christmas light and then i can. draw lines with it maybe do some writings of course. and it does look paint roller but i guess that's this little lights. to make is like painting needs almost absolute darkness start dark forests or abandoned buildings today he has sort of the cellar vault of an old fortress. he says like painting is like meditation he could lose himself in.

the reward comes in viewing the result as soon as he's done. you're came out quite nicely actually this was some kind of a white leak like from that window or that old wall but actually it doesn't effect on the picture so i'm quite happy for it. tom oh never gets the winter blues no wonder because the years darkest days offer the best conditions for his art. and staying on the subjects to amsterdam is bathing in light in the run up to christmas that plus a royal baptism in sweden coming up in today's express. mc dam is a glow after the city sixth annual white festival opened on the left and princess

sophia. the baptismal water. came from a spring on the island of where sweden's loyal family traditionally spends the summer. gabriele were a century old family heirloom. the ceremony took place in the chapel of driving home castle west of stockholm. the grounds include the private home of king carl the sixteenth gustaf and his wife queen sylvia. a movie based on the children's book when santa fell to earth opens in german cinemas this weekend children find santa claus during a lightning storm and plunge into a wild adventure the film stars puppets from germany's most famous marionette theater and the book's author is an old fan. there is five those i remember when i was a kid i'd sit in front of the t.v. and went out spoke up and kissed it began sunday was perfect. founded in one nine

hundred forty eight the angst worker put them kissed on has been a feature on german television for more than sixty years. by now i think. the people in our next report are hip young and arguably earn more air miles than one summer then look tons of pilots deejays like felix yon and conquer the international charts from their home now they produce songs that get millions of people around the world dancing in fact alef robin is responsible for our new sound here at euro max. they have and so what is life like as one of europe's most successful deejays and where do you go next after making it big at such a young age but we talked to some prominent german deejays to get some answers.

felix e. somai kay. and paul van dyke the documentary superstar made in germany accompanies these top d.j.'s on tour. electronic music from germany has a huge worldwide following. and . tronic music brings together people from completely different contra backgrounds it doesn't matter which god you believe in which religion you follow. it's about people coming together and sunup writing this music. to live we have. been seen at the summer sound festival in latvia can earn hundreds of thousands of euros for appearing as headliners and such events. are.

certainly knows how to work a crowd and not just during his life that whether it's on spotify facebook or you tube his fans follow him everywhere. and if you do it's incredibly important to be close to the fans i'm someone who uses social media intensively in my postings on all the channels myself on instagram i started answering comments it's a campaign called first for felix i respond to the first four comments under every photo. the film also shows the physical demands of life as a d.j. and a father needs to stay fit to have a live ruling summer schedule where he'll often perform three shows in just twenty four hours he often misses birthdays and other family gatherings to d.j. at others parties and he works most weekends too like here at western germany's personal festival thank.

you. we've been issued we've gotten to the point where i say my life now takes place on the road i used to say during the job not my life back then i wasn't on the road five or six days a week now and life and work are becoming one. today anyone who wants to be a successful d.j. has to produce his own tracks paul van dyke has been doing that for some twenty five years now his influence trance music like few others in the from the summer when i started making music and not just me but lots of other people to this music didn't exist we had no idea of what we wanted to hear and we made it. taking a short break thanks to d.j.'s like him electronic music has gone mainstream.

remakes of cheerleader by jamaican singer landed him a chart topping global hit in two thousand and fourteen. but when i modify things once you've had a number one you want another one to say you're an addict it sounds negative but sure should come out of a show and. if you're passionate about what you're doing it no longer feels like a job. happy with what i do if everyone ends up just doing hip hop i'll say fine count me out. but given their success it's unlikely any of these three german d.j.'s will bell out soon their fans keep dancing to their beat around the world.

for culture vultures who like to combine travel with the arts there is a train which combines the two no one takes passengers on a journey between dresden and prague participants can enjoy all sorts of activities while on board plus free entrance to museums once they arrive in either city so time now to hop on board with the cultural train. platform one and dresden central station is the starting point for the culture trying to progress on board some important players marion ackerman heads the dressed in state art collections and the poet. whose love for prague way back. i'm a passionate train writer because there's no need better place or time to read. told me how in a porton check literature and how important kafka and prague have been for him. and so kind by and gives a reading from his book the years at the zoo

a memoir that also recounts a trip to prague. the site of the gravestone sunk obliquely into the earth and the thought of the legend of rabbi lerner who created the gollum and again up small stones have been placed on the graves according to jewish cemetery customs. in total the culture train is due to roll four times between dresden and the czech capital at times it will feature czech artists it's the start of a series of collaboration between the dresden state art collections and proulx national gallery and we plan to start exchanging the works from our collections like when the prague national galleries trade fair palace is renovated starting in two thousand and twenty our prague colleagues have generously offered to loan us these collections of important works while their galleries closed. the train takes two and a half hours to reach prague the listeners are won over by the culture express its release on you weren't usually on a train when you go to

a reading the whole atmosphere is a wonderful. travel this way and a jump back and forth in a literary way between these two cities an inspiration that. caucus rug is a great city and all these people crossing the border should be done against. the culture train will be shuttling between the two cities and other three times this winter. now when it comes to austrian cruising there is more to it than just schnitzel at least that's according to an austrian restaurant owner right here in berlin johanan grew up in the countryside around solves borg and learned about food at an early age then she transferred that knowledge into a business well now she is running her own restaurant here in the german capital so we went there to see which alternatives to schnitzel she has put on the menu.

me to berlin was this big city and not knowing what would come next and of course it was all garnished with love. to go hope is with. johann an aspiring was born in salzburg austria in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine the second of two children she lived in the countryside with her grandparents for several years. in two thousand and one she moved to berlin. for seven years she gained experience working in restaurants in the german council then she opened her own restaurant spell mind. the trip of the. money goes to help and my grandmother had a farm as a child i was allowed to watch when an animal was but shared but not when it was killed but afterward when it was being processed nothing was wasted something was made out of everything fascinated me so much that i said i want to become

a cook. together. johana nusbaum are trained to be a chef at the restaurant in schloss crucial a luxury hotel in western austria here she learned to cook regional dishes as the chef of her own restaurant she cherishes the traditional cuisine of the salzburg region she likes to dig recipes and add refinements of her own. he's had them on funguses lingle when i first opened and i made it's made from hard and long and it's an awful lot of work but it was and it really saddens me that my guess is what an order it they avoided organ meat afraid they get sick yes to how much. we are but in austria is a country and doesn't have on its menu when people want to go there because it's proof the owner can't cook with them going to the core. not spam or to

other organ meat dishes off of her menu instead she relies on classics like wienerschnitzel. salzberg beer is a tremendous hit in a restaurant. your spam or prepares it according to an old family recipe the care of the recipe is the sauce all the ingredients are used in their entirety even the peels of the vegetables come into the stock. the seasonings are crushed in a mortar and pestle to release their aroma. of beer has been proved in the salzburg region for hundreds of years it's a tradition that has influenced the regional cuisine.

the beer gives the roast its name only dark beer with a high multiples content with. all the ingredients are brought to a boil amount to simmer for a while and then left to marinate for twenty four hours. that gives the broth and tends flavor for the songs austrian cuisine is hearty and starts for beer fly is a popular winter dish. spam or serves hers with dumplings and blanched carrots. this. is a recipe for my grandmother people cook it a lot in the salzburg region but with pork we've altered that have been using veal because less fatty and easier to digest well dolfin the don't forget that in past times farm hands and peasants worked hard in the fields and needed more fat today not so much. the hungry thirsty the welcome that's most bombers motto

and she says it's typical of austria she says the beyond says very important and must reflect style and good taste. the portrait of her grandmother hangs on the wall. when i played monopoly as a child i always tried to buy the street. in berlin so that's what always interested me and i now have a restaurant right next to it feels right western berlin is simply very dignified and refined like. in the sixteenth century the first time dom connected the berlin city palace with a royal hunting lodge outside the city. the first. used to ride along it with his entourage when berlin was divided it became the main shopping boulevard in west

berlin today the qudama as berliners call it a popular street for boutiques and restaurants. the restaurant named for the owner of. the site saw four previous restaurants fail before your farmer set up shop word quick around that there was an outstanding austrian restaurant in charlotte and she has been booked out ever since. creating with your today and i've prepared some salzburg be a place for you and now enjoy. here in the northern hemisphere we are used to cold and snowy weather in december i personally can't imagine the christmas season without it the lots of our viewers live in warmer climates and perhaps have never even seen snow so it's always interesting to hear people's reactions both young and old when they experience it for the first time.

oh. you get up and look out the window and suddenly everything is white. it just looks so nice and gives you a warm feeling inside i can't describe how nice it feels. and i come from cuba i was thirty seven the first time i saw snow. just went out and touched it and it disappeared so fast. i went back inside stripped off and went back out so excited i didn't feel the cold myself. or strangers love the first snowfall of the year it turns the world into a magical place and makes it shine. in the first snowfall and wild animals are tentative first as it's so bright and desolate but when they come out you often see

them playing it especially the young ones like my dog and the children do too. i think snows better than rain because rain a celebrity and you can't do anything with it that's why i like snow more because with snow you can have snowball fights and make snow man and. it's just fun and it's also really nice when the snow fall and that's what i like about snow. and . i come from celine and when i was young we had lots of snow every year sometimes it was so high you couldn't see the houses but i am seventy three years ago i had to leave some newseum and i've missed the snow ever since for us winter was wonderful. out of the sky.

my name is mohammed and though so i come from eritrea i made a snowman with my teacher and threw some snow balls i was sure it was fun. but it was really nice. and finally before we go we want to announce the winner of this week's contest earlier we have asked you our viewers to tell us which delicacy you would like to try the most and abo from nigeria or never snows the answer that he would like to try. to lay sions to you so much more you're the winner of a special edition euro max watch and with that we are out of time of be sure to join us again tomorrow for our highlights show and the best picks of the week as always thanks for tuning in.
