photographer captures the beauty of german garden plot. and a look into the explosive works by north region artist dino thomas. a professional diver and a better has been throwing herself off rugged ledges for the past 14 years sometimes from a height of up to 20 meters and through these daring feat she's become one of europe's most successful cliff divers we caught up with her in switzerland on the edge of a cliff no less. 3 seconds that's all she's got then on a platter hits the water at a speed of about 85 kilometers an hour. cliff diving its cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there i'm on my own in a sort of untouchable me and when i take off and i'm in the advantage that is
11:32 am
a moment of weightlessness that's what freedom feels like to me yes this is not my height i'm. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near this was philip on to brother here northwest of locarno some of the world's best high divers compete in the annual european championships. telling off is vital since cliff divers cannot afford to slip they hit the water at such high speeds that the water surface can act my concrete that's why they always into the water feature 1st. hitting the surface at a bad angle after a 20 meter drop is like being in a fairly serious traffic accident resulting in broken bones sprains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. the

overwhelmed and say here's essential it helps us to be focused and avoid becoming reckless. so if you're is generally a good thing for us we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then visum a jump in our minds. for them in the end i also do breathing exercises that were really centered when we go by at least in the with us. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush on about our practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. her partner chris come on. this is also a professional cliff diver together they have 2 children to keep fitness and family life in balance they often train together but being a parent and an extreme athlete is not always easy.
11:34 am
so i'm more was more worried about myself like when i'm performing also. i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but you know ever you do. get it from me you have that really now that i have a family and have less time to train and prepare for competition and. that's why i decided to slow down a little and do easy a jump. still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before because. as a child ana did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed one day and she was on vacation. as exists in babylon i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals typing off the cliff by rick's cafe
11:35 am
and busy since quickstep day and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so i did that that's one thing we don't have and the local said you have that all your professional lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here and bunch of rolla on a bonkers cliff diving career took off in 2005 for many years she was the only woman in the sport and had to compete against men no provisions had ever been made for female contenders but this year 3 women and $21.00 men took part in the european championships on a batter and 8. in european champion placed 2nd. escape demand that there are plenty of the high level competition it's what many more opportunities to train and die and that's especially great for us women it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually be real
11:36 am
competitions to take part in. even. her dream has come true but on a banner is not finished yet when faced with a challenge she's always ready to take the place. of the opposite end of of that adrenaline rush is perhaps gardening when you live in a big city like berlin and want to garden sometimes your only option is an allotment garden or as they're called here charade by getting well in germany such gardens are as typical as sausages and sauerkraut british photographer martin part took a new look at this old pastime. fresh produce puttering around outdoors and chatting with the neighbors that's the get delivered life of an allotment gardener. and now the garden has made its way to the museum british star photographer martin parker has devoted an entire series

11:38 am
most comprehensive power retrospective to date the idea is to write and try to address my relation to the world i'm not telling you this is what you should be thinking with some even more open ended for people to bring their own baggage their own it's a version of the bridges like resent. the british photographer is known for his colorful bizarre snapshots of everyday life. looking at them of us can be forgiven the impression that we human beings are a strange lot. of plastic at the photos often contain criticism by threats or tourism a wealth of how people present themselves for many. but it's always an affectionate look at people as individuals and how ny express and portray themselves present your. client isn't as flamboyant or some of past series what do his subjects think of the way he's captured them that now he has

11:40 am
and more young people are taking an interest in a last minute gardening news and. they're always welcome to come to me as i've told them all that i'm happy to help whenever they need something i'm always ready to pitch it. like krista adams the schneiders have also been lovingly tending to their allotment garden for many years now they even have their own b. colonies to them their garden is a peaceful oasis not stuffy at all but a place where they can breathe easier. my neighbors are all great gardeners get along really well and there's nothing boring about them is by in between we take a break and exchange ideas over. once or duncan all the more we head home at night for and we're always glad to have accomplished a thing or 2 throughout the day. god knows our is very distant reasons for having a plot whether relaxed or up times. free spirits.

11:47 am
a week to make. and you can have the small grains which are the small useless autonomous little things together around but when you set fire to them it places up the place up the whole room with heat in flames so it's always very fun. he uses nail clippers to spread the small grains across his canvas the climate in the room is crucial when he works even the slightest breeze could ruin everything the air can't be too humid or the gunpowder won't start. even the way the pellets are arranged makes a big difference. they need to be placed. so. that the grains would catch fire. so they have a chain reaction with fire across the whole. into the canvas which makes the

the beatles characters from the belgian comic a lucky luke takes water. so it's lighter and this is how you create brains when you force it. likes to experiment with glow in the dark paint only on the ultraviolet light does this picture show a 2nd with a complimentary motif. ferma chromic pigments that change color when exposed to heat are yet another method he uses to combine overlapping images like here with nikola tesla the electric magician. today if you post on social media you compete with absolutely everybody and if you really want
11:50 am
a little edge to your art so you'd get seen more than other people's art you need to think outside the box and new to surprise people and do something not most people would do so doing multiple images in one image without seeing them all at the same time something really that gives you an edge do you know told me keeps coming up with new ideas to surprise his fans on instagram where he's already got 700000 followers and for his next trick he wants to try out the magnetic dust each time he finishes one work his mind is already on the next. and now here is something to whet your appetite a gourmet event that uses let's say rugged cooking methods from the olden days at the unplugged taste festival 7 leading chefs transform an alpine pasture into an open air show kitchen they entice their guests with traditional dishes with a fresh new twist but that's only
11:51 am
a traditional part of their cooking. the gum is a mouthful and not only for the way it's pronounced it's also home to an explicit colon area treat the gourmet event the unplugged taste here $800.00 metres above sea level 7 award winning chefs prepare their specialties on wood burning stoves no roof no electricity it's all open air they serve things like cash cheap with parson appear a or b. folder on vegetables. and whole it's a hoax using the word stove need to rely on their senses it starts with how they make the fire how hot does it need to be burning stoves don't distribute the heat evenly the temperature varies at different spots so when you can control that then you're really cooking with a fine touch but then forward less moaning you could see smoke rising the ed tasted like smoke and then it started tasting like food i love it it reminds you of what
11:52 am
it means to be a cook. and we're doing something together over a wood stove that store requires honest craftsmanship of. vulgar vaguer knows how to get an old stove fired up the key is to start with a strong draft so he leaves the doors open for now. otherwise you just have to help out a bit and blow on the flames that works. and now he waits the water for his speech soup takes half an hour to start boiling. by comparison things are much easier on the induction cooker in his restaurant to turn it on high and he can see the difference the water is already starting to heat up a thing to life down through. the fastest do with the vegetables on the low heat for 2 hours inside it's easy to adjust the temperature but outside. of. the woodstove it isn't as easy to regulate the heat disperses an

11:54 am
a wood stove that's why i have no problem cooking over a fire here i can still remember the meaty soup waiting to see how it was the best can't even make it as well in my kitchen i'm a kook uniquenesses. sometimes the unusual working conditions high up in the mountains inspire the gourmet chefs to cook up something new for once you've gotten the hang of a wood burning stove you can experiment with smoky and woody flavors of the limits as we have an additional one so heavy we take it home or how to flatten out those fleeting words. the art of cooking on a wood stove cuisine for nature fans. and it's time to wrap up the show but before we go we leave you with a tribute to one of germany's most famous photographers peter lindbergh passed away this week at the age of 74 now his art to find an error and he was able to capture
