troops out. time to overcome parents' rings. and connect the world. and sometimes for tito's. these coming up ahead. minds. wow talk about making us flash we get up close and personal with a cliff diving professional at the top of the show. hello and welcome to another exciting edition of euro max i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up on the program. how one british

photographer captures the beauty of german garden plot. and a look into the explosive works by norwegian harness dino thomas. 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 batter 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 there's

a moment of weightlessness that's what freedom feels like to me that's good enough i had. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near this was village upon to brother here northwest of locarno some of the world's best thai 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 like concrete that's why they all went into the water feet 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 brains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. over

the world and say here's essential it helps us to a focused and avoid becoming reckless. a few is generally a good thing for us and 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 and that leads in the way that's the. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush on a batter practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. her partner chris come on. 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.

so i'm was more worried about myself like when i'm performing also like when she's . i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but you know ever think what you do we are responsible of whole formally. coming out of that really now that i have a family i have less time to train and prepare for competition and i think that's why i decided to slow down on little and do easier to this. still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before because. as a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed one day when she was on vacation. as exists in bad when i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals typing off the cliff by rick's

cafe busy since we expect they and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so i did that one thing well done happy and a local said you have that all your professional me lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here in bunch of rolla on a bothers 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. and 8. european champion placed 2nd. demand that there are plenty other 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 the real

competitions to take part in. her dream has come true but on a father's not finished yet when faced with a challenge she's always ready to take the plunge. 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 should a bride get 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 got no. trees. and now the garden has made its way to the museum british star photographer martin parr has devoted an entire series to

the german allotment gartner's it's being exhibited at the n r w 4 i'm in just a golf. ball right where the foot of the ball photo we've got to see the right. for years allotment gardeners have the image of being a crotchety old patterns who joined associations just to plant vegetables but today gardening is trendy especially in big cities. i knew that needed leaders to subjects i wanted to look up because you know homogenized world that we all live in the fact that people still get out there they have these communities they live in these gods in the summer with all the problems we have with sean brecht said climate change this to me is a very positive story. the klang gatineau or allotment gardeners photos aren't the only ones on display at the n.r. w. forum with some 400 works this is the most comprehensive part retrospective to date

the idea is a crime of trying to address my relation to the world i'm not telling you this is what you should be thinking made from even quite open ended for people to bring their own baggage during its reputation to the bridges i present to. the british photographer is known for his colorful bizarre snapshots of everyday life. looking at the most of us can be forgiven the impression that we human beings are a strange lot. of flights take 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 they express and portray themselves present your. client jaffna isn't as flamboyant some of past series what do his subjects think of the way he's captured the data how he has

a real knack for making. something about the moment. it is really great how this works. much as questions q.'s just 16 years old he meets up with martin fry the exhibition. are you really serious so what do you think of a picture could make sure you're really good how's it going to go. right from our i think you're the youngest gobbler in the room. legally matters for shinseki is too young to own his garden his parents are the official owners but he does all the work himself. it's great fun and gives me something to do otherwise i just hang around the house. but i'm also really interested in the concept of sustainability of planting my own things and breaking out of the system a little also but i think. veteran gardeners like this to adams are glad that more

and more young people are taking an interest in a lot of gardening and. they're always welcome to come to me as i've told them all but 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 the views by in-between we take a break and exchange ideas over. once or duncan moment we head home at night for and we're always glad to have accomplished a thing or 2 throughout the day. we're all finished. god knows are is very does that reasons for having a plot whether relaxed or times. free spirits all

artistically captured in mountain pass photos. nowadays when we are on vacation it's easy for us to snap a picture with our phone and send it directly to our friends along with cheerful holiday greetings but there are still those of us who remain true to the good old postcard now it's celebrating its 150 if anniversary so on this special occasion we asked you to send us in a postcard and we were overwhelmed by the wonderful responses from pakistan india china australia from all over thank you for all the lovely greetings but did you know how postcards came about to be in the 1st place well neither did i. we've got mail your max has received colorful postcards from almost all over the world but how are these wonderful little cards named in the 1st place.

the turf. is in the baltic seaside resort of tavern on the lookout for the patrick postcard motif. of your honor for a new process here we have a nice reflection in the water you can see the yachts mirrored in it the one in the background there's the famous old lighthouse of the highrise is a hotel which is also a landmark of tottenham and park and it's a good alternative to the standard shot it's going to be a bit of continuity not. the best publisher shining commissioned in go over to shoot images for the top of the postcard the company produces some 11000000 postcards a year. this is one hard part vestal important because they're simply part of people's holidays and if you ask folks what makes up their vacation they say eating ice cream playing mini golf going swimming and writing postcards that's why business is still good. a graphic artist to edit his images on his

computer then that printed and coated with a high gloss finish. finally the machine cut and stacked. in europe the history of postcards began with this correspondence card it came into circulation in austria hungary on october 1st $869.00 an exhibition at berlin's museum for communication shows samples from when postcards were in their heyday and the late 19th century. thought us going to go through it was a means of communication for common people who want that used to writing back then there was this whole letter writing culture with complex guidelines on how to compose a letter. postcards were more direct you could send messages quicker using short stock phrases and that caught on and on. in 1005 half

a 1000000000 postcards secular in the german. humor played a role and many declarations of love were delivered. there was a series of cards with good morning good day good evening and good night printed on them and a pair of lovers exchange them in cars were in 1004 what's interesting is they arrived the same day that was only possible because mail was delivered so often up to 11 times a day in berlin a little less frequently in cars or just. in cards where it was really nowadays there are many passionate post card collectors as a child in moscow assem an attorney and love to look at his grandfather's many postcards he later inherited then and is today on the chair of the union a flash list of russia. an exhibition a moscow looks at every day life in the city over a century ago and back then ordinary muscovites for a popular postcard 19th. here's

a project talking about types types of people who lived in a city at the end of the 19th century beginning of the 20th century nobody was choosing the most general prestigious people or all the nobles all kinds of people somebody you know get walking in the street or treating pigeons doesn't matter that's what's interesting. capture the moments looking back we can see how people dressed and lived in the past but just the postcards still have a future. of concrete is still postcards are used to the best screenings where the whole is not all listen. sending something on e-mail but also using a postcard this is a good tradition. and though there are faster and cheaper ways to send greetings people are still happy to receive a postcard. yes that's right we were certainly happy to receive your postcards and

loved reading all your warm wishes but there can only be one winner for our special draw and that is the sound june family from alaska they sent this card all the way from the arctic circle congratulations and as a thank you we're sending you a d.-w. travel kit now and don't miss our current viewers draw are you can find out more about that by visiting our facebook page and now next up is a norwegian artist who likes blowing up his own artwork. this artist likes to sessions work on fire ideally with gunpowder as soon as it's lit it burns into the canvas and reveals his true creation. norwegian dino told me is the artist behind this unusual method one of his greatest gunpowder experiments to date is on display in this office building. it shows his hometown and it took him 3 kilograms of gunpowder and

a week to make. and you can have the small grains which are the small useless autonomous little things together around but then use fire to them in places up and plates of the whole room with heat and 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. can't be too humid well the gunpowder won't start. even the way the pellets are arranged makes a big difference. they need to be placed. so. the grains would catch fire. so they have a chain reaction with fire across the whole. which makes the

painting appear. recently discovered different less explosive material to work with dust that's how it turned. into a portrait of the famous painter. depiction of vinci's mural painting. it took one day of complete concentration the dust particles are much finer and lighter than gunpowder. just fall off if there are some. way if there is some. fall off so you can be very very careful and he's found another way to make on the streets of his hometown using water repellent paint he transformed sidewalks into

images for example of the beatles characters from the comic a lucky luke takes. so it's lighter and this is how you create brains when you. also 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 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 if you

really want a little edge to your art so you 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 that something really that gives you an edge do you know tommy 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 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 gorham a event that uses let's say rugged cooking methods from the olden days at the unplugged taste festival 7 leaving 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

a traditional part of their cooking. the going on 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 with parson appear a or b. folder on vegetables. and hold it soaks using a word stove need to rely on their senses it starts with how they make the fire how hot does it need to be wood burning stoves don't distribute the heat evenly the temperature varies a different spawns so when you can control that then you're really cooking with a fine touch but then forward that's moaning you could see smoke rising in the air tasted like smoke and then it started tasting like food i love it it reminds you of

what it means to be a cook. and putting something together over a wood stove that store across on his craftsmanship. 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 beef soup takes half an hour to start boiling. by comparison things are much easier on the induction cooker in his restaurant so i turn it on high and he can see the difference the water is already starting to heat up with a flame to life down through. the cast a stool with the vegetables on low heat for 2 hours inside it's easy to adjust the temperature but outside. it's over.

the woodstove isn't as easy to regulate the heat disperses on evenly. across the iron stove top. you know it's time to juggle and play with our food so i'll push it over to the side here so we consume a gentle. cooking times are different but in the end of acres broth is finally ready. the how to proceed through them are the main difference is that this takes about 5 times longer to make if the one i use an induction cooker looked like sauce me off they took tons of latin. culture vigor is also preparing steak with results for the festival andreas kona gives it a try the food critic from south to rule is at the unplugged taste festival to judge the cooks finesse on wood burning stoves and the winner is a tell you and cook up more rice and his commercial boiled dumplings made of trout and beetroot is a coming out through interview where he combined the beats with smoked trout on a whole new way of it's amazing work. at home we grow up with

a wood stove that's why i have no problem cooking over a fire here i can still remember the meaty soup waiting. it was the best can't even make it as well in my kitchen out of who can equal so. 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 the wood burning stove you can experiment with smoky and woody flavors of enemies as we have a different one so heavy we take it home or have it flown out of those fleeing us. 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

the essence of women like no other well here's a look back now at some of his iconic work. peter lindbergh were certainly be missed but his legacy lives on in his work and with that we say thank you for watching and next.
