oh. sure all. respects. everyone and welcome to another exciting edition of your max today we are celebrating the birth of a nation but that's not all here's a look at what's coming off. the lights about an exhibition in the friendship seat of meds is dedicated to darkness. deep deep how rich the londoners are expanding their living space. for now fifty featuring

a local delicacy from romania. this weekend europe is commemorating one hundred years since the end of a war that was supposed to end all wars world war one well it didn't end all conflicts but something did occur and that was the birth of a nation austria germany southern neighbor is a small alpine republic but it has had a big impact both historically and culturally the country only has eight million residents but it draws in some forty three million tourists every year all from wienerschnitzel to the waltz to the vienna philharmonic to alpine sports in a cosy coffeehouse culture austria has so much to celebrate as it marks one hundred years as a nation. austria

a small country with a lot of character and. the alpine republic has fans the world over. and i could take her which is really really fantastic this place is like very rich in culture the countryside mainly i basically just think of green hill and it's. a disease that you can dance on. impressive mountain landscapes. alpine chalets. and in the winter snow as far as the eye can see. many people come here for just one reason. this skiing with seven thousand two hundred kilometers of runs faster is a skier's paradise these are going to get shifted into all these cliches they're

true he did all this is our cliche that. these are the mountain roads the rivers but they have a certain magic it's a bit like a fairy tale landscape this is. just as a deal like our austria cities like innsbruck. borg. and the capital vienna here the splendor of the habsburg monarchy is omnipresent just like this famous melody we were they came here and starting from the first day i've always liked. playing. that i. love. the blue danube waltz by johann strauss is vienna's. an official anthony trial is known as the waltz king to this day. all of the honest ways to the rhythm of the

waltz. even on the streets instructions day that would have been impossible. indeed i felt. back then waltz music and operators were permitted in the inner city in which you had to go to the outlying districts to the stately homes where people threw party. clubbing is today so how society would all go and dance the night away with the waltz music a bicycle of straws from the pop star of his day dance music. except that a century before that austria already had a superstar. once you talk about austria the first thing that comes to my small. both young mozart the music of wonder came from salzburg made history and today with a chocolate to his name the more. he remains on people's tongues the company responded . two hundred years later he inspired pop star falco for his rock me

which soared to the top of u.s. charts but. i. didn't the only one to enjoy global success i in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. opus was all the rage i. today's austrian artists are also worth remembering conchita respondent in dress and beard won the euro vision song contest in two thousand and fourteen. arnold schwarzenegger was mr universe and went on to become a hollywood star. i'll be back. mr fox also took his acting talents to hollywood's silver screen. austria exports not just movie stars but also cohen eric classics like wienerschnitzel. as well as

kaiser pancakes. and apple strudel then there's. a chocolate cake traditionally served in one of the many coffee houses for which the city is famous . for. love it and hated at the same time and so a good opening goes straight to your hips. but i've. got to savor it and shoot well in your mouth so it's easier to swallow. and their home is well there you have a call an area experience. with . you but it was the sound of music that's perhaps been the greatest ad for austria over the years was. the story of the fun truck family from salzburg has shaped austria's image worldwide since the one nine

hundred fifty s. still today bus loads of tourists arrive to visit the various film locations see. austria's many unusual traditions are another big tourist draw like the rhythmic whip cracking known as operation. along with traditional costumes and of course yodeling dinner break says there's another typical austrian characteristic of. it but if you ask people a question in german then they'll typically get a yes or a no so in austria people say. oh let's wait and see think about that maybe you'll have an idea and so you can wind your way out of it and be wonderfully non-committal you know. or i love that about austria the sleeper killers the. relaxed attitude that makes austria all the more attractive to so many visitors.

a painter who just can't work during the day they have been many night painter and we have many of their works artists who are obsessed with a night. the night hasn't always been as brightly lit as it is today in cities like berlin and paris artists celebrated the advent of electricity in the early decades of the twentieth century then before world war two there was a fascination for grotesque creatures that deemed in the darkness for the surrealists the night held something of a magical quality name a great works tended to be mysterious invent testicle. in the one nine hundred seventy s. francis bacon's paintings depicted the stuff of nightmares news haunting figures were brightly illuminated in surrounding darkness. the night is like a world where everything is in motion everything is free. so you don't have the clarity of day of reality where you can take liberties it's something that interests many artists. the night sky is also

continues until. space is scarce in the british capital that is why more and more london homeowners have been expanding their basements for some years now that means digging under the gardens to create more space for a luxury seller now these controversial expansions have a name iceberg houses now the biggest part of the building is underground well be it above or below the surface this whole new development in london has one catch and that is homeowners need to dig even deeper into their pockets because these expansions are very expensive. roams of townhouses like these are typical in london's more affluent neighborhood. the trend has taken hold here in the last few years thanks to a lack of space. i don't like

a move while you can see that housing in london is limited up with you we have no other option but to expand down with it into the center because it also sort of this is new could have because construction costs an average of five thousand euros per square meter but house resale value comes in at about ten thousand euros ok i admit that had all of that price is few can afford but those with enough money can enjoy a lavish supped a rainy an extension what up said this this here is an exceptional seller expansion with a ceiling height. more than three point five means his. requirements like all. homes with such a large cellar space have become known as ice berg homes because like an iceberg there's much more to them beneath the surface than above. there are so far around forty five hundred iceberg homes in london but converting them can cost structural

damage. architect emily moore is working on to sell our projects. careful there's a whole. she's well acquainted with the difficulties of these projects. it has it's very complicated and difficult the ground is excavated by hand. workers work alone in holes one point two meters deep. ground water rises in some homes which has to be pumped out that was the case here at the front of the house in case she should have one that is all. underground construction often costs homeowners millions. the extra space isn't always for necessary a minute but added luxury. this is. this is well slate so it's messy very. here read this.

are inevitably intertwined at least that is what one finnish photographer wants to point out all out mine has brought out a book combining photographs of churches mosques and synagogues now regardless of your beliefs it's hard to argue the beauty of these photographs. the pantheon in rome. the ioseph here in istanbul. and the star temple synagogue in india. often you can't tell whether it's a mosque a church or synagogue till the second or third look. centuries old houses of worship are all a color mine and subjects before he presses the button the chemistry has to be just right. when i go in i need to have the kind of enlargement of the space or in light mint of the light so there's something

a driven force that i'm looking for. some places it's very easy to find somebody says it's a little bit more difficult sometimes it's easier to find but very hard to capture . this time call a mine in his turn in his lens on berlin's cathedral he looks for just the right subject the optimal position and especially the perfect light. the challenge for him is to capture the particular mood and spatial dimensions fun film. divide the limits in several parts. deconstruct the space and then reconstruct it but it's not perfect and that the certain point. when the viewer is looking the work. so you send three dimensionality. of mine in creates his artwork after the shoot. in his berlin studio here in just his photos like the tiles of a mosaic into larger panoramas. all of this is possible to good

strict photos of architecture he came to it somewhat by accident. as a student at university of art and design he found portrait photography too difficult . it was very difficult to work in a studio i did not the equipment and how to direct the people and there were so many things to do at the same time so when we went through this. assignment i started to build small spaces and then i could spend whatever time in the studio and then. develop that i want to photograph real spaces. he compiled his sacred spaces from two thousand and fourteen to twenty seventeen years during which tensions between the world religions were growing in europe and elsewhere. did his photo project have a political message. not doing political art but i think already the theme

and how it's handled bring something the. board what i'm thinking about it. all and color mine and images reveal that when seen from a distance christian jewish and muslim houses of worship are visually at least not all that different. task saying on the subject of photography it's time to let you in on the winner of this week's right now we have wanted to know from you what is your favorite photography star jacks we receive lots of pictures of animals of every single crime. we've also receive a photo of your children. plus if you'd like to send us in are your vacation photos including donkey rides and beautiful sunsets or views over the mountains but the winning photo this week comes from axl struck bits from argentina he likes to take
