a photographer's led picture has all the facts of the 17th century still lifes of the monster. now as you're watching this child you most probably have some interest in this country and the people who live here rachel stood has been investigating the in a workings of the jumpman psyche for over a year and she'll join us in a minute but 1st is a taste of the series. yeah think of pink really is a german flying with the money it apparently comes from the sound of coins pulling together. welcome to you meet again in health check up will be running through some fun facts about health in germany they think the get started let's play

a little game of have you ever the home remedy edition how many might speed big even launch mountain belts yeah yeah well kept them on time cloud done folks didn't have to. and rachel is right here with me welcome right cheryl i'm going to see you now how do you find your subjects i presume you have a vast crew of research and well actually it's quite personal for months so these really are the kind of things that i've just noticed over the last couple of years of living in germany the kind of things i would still to my friends about in the pub when you're sort of comparing your culture to other people's cultures ok that's correct but some people might see your videos and think oh you're just having a lawful at the expense of the germans but you know what we are having a laugh about tonight it's meant to be a good fun it's meant to be quite entertaining quite tongue in cheek i'd say but there's a lot more to it as well we're trying to be very informative we try and talk a lot into one of our episodes and we really want to make sure that everyone takes

something new away from each episode but i think i also get away with being a bit cheeky because the germans they really like british humor they do have got away with it for 30 years anyway for the moment thank you let's see the 1st in the series and this is very topical as it's aspiring us time right now here in germany and you wouldn't believe it but the germans eat 125000 tons of the stuff every year . juggler i just did a do some lengths and respectable go and even if you can't quite tell from the sun this it will tell you when spring is but from april to june your life has more reason simply because it says. so you want to know what makes the germans kid well the demand for this pale white stick asparagus comes in green and even purple too but for most germans only this one will do it's nicknamed white gold perhaps that's

a measure of how much they value this national treasure. in season it appears in every dish in soup in a salad on pizza with fish but the classic combination served up with pride is boiled with potatoes and some of the side it's bursting with nutrients but then of course it's often drenched in. i've got to admit i don't quite understand i mean it's ok kind of bland so come on germany what's all the fuss about your wife's aspirant this. country with her sons on market street couple from uncle charles you see those green school. after me and good luck to be out of sight then just as long as cars which finds us he said and i think it's time we can make a mockery very much keeping my friend. boggled grows underground all tucked away in a loosely patch mound as soon as the tip of the spear breaks through it's time to

dig no more sunlight for you each single spear must be plucked out by hand and all the veggies grown in the land from lower saxony right down to the various asparagus takes up the largest area. you will and early on while those limited stock prices might give you a sense of a shock 20 yours per kilos not out of the question and all season long you'll pay for perfection these are the best. body i'm not sure i mentioned for. life you know if you could. are god's will oh my god the sheep to my bio didn't go down try to charlotte feed here on the bus must be perfect despite its going out by such buy or go to buy so i'm sure lots of crop plants one centimeter long or 2 since one functions are going to be that big. this asparagus craze is a marketing dream the special pots and pianos and even a queen was crowned once a year it was the dress of the such an ambassador for the local asparagus stuff on june 24th the season comes to

a close the sun it's all over as the old saying goes is kisha wat bottle toward cherries red asparagus dead but with seasonal bad surely part of the one is the absence really does make the heart grow fonder. i have to say that's very impressive if you're going to do the whole series in writing that would be great and i think i'm going to manage it manage it sadly but we're just kind of thinking for this one how do we convey this deep passion of this vegetable in germany and that kind of thing not the only way was within the poem and you did that you did the rug i did just. as we sit here or not here but i saw it of this studio it's over 30 degrees everybody's dreaming about cold beer after work of course germany famous for its beer but they do sometimes mix it with

strange things yes that really shocked me when i moved i already knew that they took that be a very serious issue and then they started pouring manana juice so sometimes when i would just say yes but it tastes quite good at them a say but i don't see my favorite thing about the german be a culture is the fact that you could be walking down the street and you could stop practically anybody and they'd be able to open your bottle without a bottle and maybe with the teeth or with the lights i would escape but with me so very impressive it is true that is true although i would recommend anybody to use the teacher we should you know promote that so now apart from big overseas they want to ban. we've seen the one on aspire guess what else can we look forward to coming also lots of stuff so we go from food to language to even nudity so i spent a lot of time in a german spot recently i think for a lot of coaches including my own it's quite daunting this idea of a mixed soul and where everybody's in the nude so we made an episode about everything you need to know before you set foot in foot. even during the series for

yeah i know it's coming on our show every week now but what shifts favorite thing about the germans. i mean you live here on a difficult for me to things i mean quite simply is german breakfast is just really great bread cheese meat perfect stuff weekend but i also really admire the germans love being outdoors. as they take every opportunity they can there is hiking all camping on bobby king and rachel great to have you looking forward to the series thanks very much for coming in. still life painting is basically the painting of on inanimate object the most common being a vase of flowers or flowers of some description inspired by the golden age of dutch painting in the 17th century the photographer bass mayo's has built on this great tradition and with the aid of digital technology created new works have a timeless quality. at 1st glance they look like traditional still

life paintings. but past menu has revived a rather stuffy art form with technology. he takes photos of single flowers and then creates digital flower arrangements on the computer spired by the flemish masters of the 17th and 18th centuries. just like them he creates arrangements that would actually be impossible in real life. in my sphere i have so i want to play with time by taking photos of flowers in every susan. i can combine and flowers from spring and summer and autumn which is not possible really. fast maybe you finds inspiration everywhere and just always looking out for new motifs she takes photos of flowers of all shapes and colors all year long

accessory that is really important. for our book and the face have to be in balance sometimes the face is really in front so to book a is to be also a bit more vibrant and more colorful just to keep it balanced. behalf of composing a painting has hardly changed since the masters were at work. the only difference today is that boss mail does everything digitally. good still life in my opinion is alive which is not though it has to have some tension in it and wanted to be fit and for that purpose i put a lot of insects in and lot of other animals. and real

life plans are dependent on insects for reproduction and sometimes insects or caterpillars can be fretful plans and it's all actually about circle of life. and that's what i really want to show people. and he does sound fantastic. finally a 1st glimpse of the long awaited documentary about bob dylan's legendary rolling funded saw a chaotic romp he made across america over 40 years ago. some are. worth a read of that he inspired dylan was. a gathering all his force is. directed by hollywood great martin scorsese who famously made the last waltz back in 90. 78
