had gets lent takes roxanne's evergreens on a tool. and whose perfect photographing models with skin blemishes can collect. first off we pack our bags and travel far away from the continent and this week series island dreams were showcasing europe's most interesting islands and today also takes us to the caribbean more specifically to the lesser antilles nowhere in the world britain france and the netherlands closer to the overseas territory of angua and the french dutch island of sand or since nothing so let's take a closer look at this island hopping experience with a twist.

the plane touches down in dutch territory but seven thousand kilometers from amsterdam. this is cinta morton in the lesser antilles islands a sun worshippers paradox. super martini is part of the netherlands vacationers here can look forward to sun sand and duty free shopping. and they can pay in and tune in geezers in peak season up to ten cruise ships a day dock at the island just beyond the deep water ports travelers can get a taste of amsterdam the cheese not the city. which. i also grew up with display of cheese on my sandwich with some jam for revolution all sweet assaulter good combination. hot sauce so that's where we also offer that so that it would save a lot of people still want to come in. and ask you it's hot sauce or cheese but why not try it i mean like a. shop sells fifty different types of cheese. she

grew up here and loves the diversity of cultural influences in the caribbean. this is. the majority of st martin's population are descended from african slaves and dutch colonialists added to the mix are the french who've been sharing the island's ninety square kilometers with the dutch since sixteen forty eight. came here for salt because they needed salt for their herring industry so it was very important in the preservation of foods and we were a goldmine of salt and the french also needed their own stores of salt so we have salt on the front side of salt on a side. they bought split in half in the side to live here peacefully. and from the dutch side to the french side the border is barely visible even from the air the

somewhat larger french side is called some nutter and i like martians a real part of the european union. oh. please. arrived eleven years ago she and her husband had originally set out to see the world on their sailboat but once they stopped off in some afghans they knew they'd found a new home. system all our flour comes from france and our butter to buy has been makes everything by hand with no artificial coloring but our baked goods are made only according to traditional recipe. that's been was to. the customers here are every bit as demanding as in paris the baker says and they pay in europe it's. nice to have been straight in his fridge but how can i put it we have something caribbean in us to. just see about the

caribbean so. this is the culture of the end to me it's a blend of the caribbean and europe. that's a blend that elsewhere in the lesser antilles includes the british too just a twenty minute boat ride away is a population of nearly fifteen thousand its deserted beach is an excellent snorkelling make it a hot chick among travellers to this corner of europe and the caribbean. but. i remember how it works. we go. right in on the legal tender is the east caribbean dollar bearing a portrait of the queen today the former colony is a british. overseas territory representatives of the crown take care of foreign financial and domestic security policies. there's a lot of cricket and there's

a lot of football on the island. there's a lot of. traditional british good morning good afternoon old fashioned respect ladies wearing hats to church on the day a lot of that still exists. as does british food is fresh lobster doesn't tickle your palate traditional british roast beef and yorkshire pudding are available right on the beach it's a. pub owner clear lynch came to the island with her parents over thirty years ago. the way that we serve our food is almost like you eating at grandma's house came out it's just we want you to be like grandma beating you up play a food you know. british beef dutch beer and parisian style. all enjoy the caribbean sun.

founded in one nine hundred forty six his production company released a series of big screen is he also made a special commitment to films dealing with the holocaust and the nazi era. art galleries to be held in our two a bronze honor in berlin on september the. nasa music and the return of an iconic band from the late eighty's and early ninety's the swedish pop duo rock set scored international hits with songs like it must have been love one half of the double act singer songwriter pair will be taking their biggest hits back onto the stage this time without his long standing partner the frantic son following a successful battle with cancer her doctors advised against a tool but just as music lives on. it must have been like the speech in the movie pretty well

a lot has happened since then. must have. this hold some will be taking the rock set on till suddenly without seeing frederick's on one bit disappointed. i think they're going to have a blast if they like rocks at songs because it's going to be lots of upset songs and rock set to release sixty two singles in our career and lots of them were hits and we're going to play lots of hits we're also going to play a few of the other songs i think it's. it's got a magic i'm sure hope so anyway it. rocks get to know the pop success story to hail from scandinavia. sweetens biggest exporters of hit songs off the album.

healthy bank balance and a string of. mean pair kind of forward a relaxed approach to work these things he doesn't feel any pressure to match old successes. you know i don't at all i think it's every time of your life you know there's a season to everything you know and i can't really it will be that doesn't mean that i might not have a hit record in the in the future i might have that but it is talk of a song like the look you know because the look belongs tonight and. so i don't feel any pressure and i think also the music industry in itself has changed so much since since we had our heydays you know we were. we worked our asses off for eight years you know nineteen eighty eight to ninety ninety five that was the hey. heydays of upset and that's a very long time a ts is just as long as long as the beatles existed you know if the atheist.

rucksacks with my re frederick's on unpaired gessler were successful thirty years off of the turn of the millennium however the jewels fortunes took a cruel turn for the works in two thousand and two singham are really frederick's monk was diagnosed with a brain tumor. has always paid to the brands besides rucksacks and pursued a solo career. playing with. his latest album is jude for repeats in september. it started out. as a swedish album and swedish. and the idea for that album came. because mary told her that she had to stop working with works at in february two

thousand and sixteen. which was sad of course but it was expected at the same time you know what she worked overtime so to speak the last ten years we were upset. so i decided early on that the next project i'm going to do should be something very different from rocks at. him amory fredrickson turned sixty she's doing well given the circumstances but not well enough to go back on stage so she'll be rooting for pat and his solo appearance is away from the spotlight. well all of us here max and our very best wishes now we move on to photography and an artist keen to examine beauty standards hide the planet from cologne chooses the models for pictures based on their uniqueness portraits show children teens and adults that have birthmarks or pigment disorders in hopes to encourage people from

hiding so-called cosmetic flaws the result is a captivating photo series so we met her and one of the models for a look behind the scenes. one last look in the mirror and félix dawna is good to go. the young man takes care of his appearance in his case are somewhat distinctive appearance he was born with a port wine stand today he's in hiding primary studio to have some new photos taken with his face as the primary focus. for the past five years how to progress has been taking photos of people with genetic idiosyncrasies as she calls not so far she's recruited thirty subjects for the project each of them with a conspicuous facial feature and no qualms about displaying it in public.

félix was one of her first models. i doubt most. hider approached me back then on the subway i was waiting for my train and she came over and asked if i'd like to do some photos. she told me she was doing a series and found my stain interesting this this yes in madison meant it was the first time somebody wanted to take photos of it but the few. you do often get people asking about it. whether it's a burnt or a bruise from a fist fight. they go bag of using bell does or in fact it's just excess blood vessels which is a good professor and it doesn't really bother me i'm so good switched around three in a thousand people are born with a port wine stain or fire mark the capillary malformation use in most cases physically harmless nevertheless many parents decide to have their child stain removed félix dawna still has he is mine it's one hundred stomachs off. my parents

took the advice of a pediatrician and started the process of having it removed when i was four or so. on but since five when i was maybe ten or twelve i said we didn't need to carry on but. and i'd rather have the stain than the laser treatment yet some people have tattoos and in my case i have a natural one on my face because this. program uses an analog camera so it often takes a few days for her to tell how the photos have turned out she only touches up a photo when the negative has a scratch or a speck of dust on it the series she hopes will show how much appearances can define the individual and how they're perceived. in the flag was what i wanted to explore and what i found interesting was how frequently that one distinctive feature on someone's face that draws all the attention. my series the woman with the stain on her face has become
