boots rock legends like the late prince david bowie and freddie mercury long embrace to high heeled shoe on stage and now the next generation like british singer sam smith is following suit. sales in this niche market are increasing steadily but for men finding the right size is difficult british designer sophia web server recognized this problem. it was coming very apparent to me that there wasn't a lot of notches in design and i don t. h. h. ow ow we do not sit here. and we were doing so done. class is america we need to see him to west and she used to dance and i think he's 43 and all we had was 40 take i'm going to say farewell there's final going to be extended to say. things as well that come from strange fire like these will while sophia webster

king louis the 14th more than to increase his stature only worse to crowds with red heels more allowed in his court. high heeled shoes have come a long way since then but what about negative attitudes towards men wearing them nowadays. where people can say what they want to. do you have to suppress yourself you feel to hear that nobody. is paid to go but you. confidence and comfort are key aspects that will carry this style choice into the future. we turn our attention now into a unesco intangible cultural heritage building batched roofs now covering houses with reed is one of the oldest crafts in construction the 1st batch roof dates back some 6000 years well nowadays you'll find plenty of them along the north and baltic

pace tree chefs produce the dough and constant cream for the top and nobody is allowed inside apart from them i think we can go in there. i feel very privileged to be one of the few people who knows that i watched i used to buy lamb recipe. in the car engine family has been creating a stage to be a lamp for 5 generations. joe is sliced by hand and then placed in the baking tray. it's important that the crust be taken up to contain the custard cream. crypto needs to be carefully and even though pressed. each day they make about 20000 tarts. the recipe dates back to the monks of jarana most. monastery by unesco world heritage site. to a squat they used wants to stiffen the monks church callers it's very easy there's

more on the left over. the makes when it does it goes. when the monastery was secularized over 185 years ago a sugar manufacturer bought up the tart recipe and began making them in his nearby shop. it's been selling the original pa station ever since. we introduced the beach which many a typical forgery sweeps were invented in the almost resigned as if there was you know our names since the 19th century people from all over have come here to see belum tower and the monastery along with the great explorers gama. and no visit to this part of portugal is complete without trying pos station. general when you come to be not by the government but i've been coming here with my girlfriend 3 is white with these tonsils something special so green and the crossed

technique for shooting vast landscapes comes in handy. it happened a few in the south of france it's pretty easy picture everywhere you look between june and august when the plants are in bloom the balance on the plateau turns into a frequency of flowers. each year people from around the world visit stop keep coming back like landscape photography and to not have this is what's cool about profound we have these incredible colors that's everywhere we have the lions that go way back into the distance everything you've got i love at the end there's a tree that's like disneyland for photographers and for photographs likes to share his passion with others and takes amateur photographers unguided to is through the lavender fields this was photographer has pioneered a technique that revolutionized classical landscape photography superimposed. the same subject on top of one another to create hyper realist images. as

a result his landscape photos look more mystical than realistic. hypervigilance landscape photography is about bringing together all the emotions i felt before taking my shots in the one picture the different moments situations and ambient lights could take 234 or up to 40 or 50 images to convey that feeling but to the observer it's this feeling that he also wants to transmit to the fashion or to the participants 1st moments are these here. the best ones are actually those 2 there in the middle but when it comes to framing the image the amateurs get help from the end of oscar has been a landscape photographer for more than 2 decades and knows whether it's classic cool or hyper realistic photography the ground rules are always the same what's important with such wide open landscapes is the foreground often you'll see pictures with a tree somewhere in the background but nothing up front it's

a farmer who earns his living the growing love there would have been so we're not here with a group to have to ensure that we protect the love of their means not running a tripod or stepping on the plants or living a beer bottles or cigarette or what it's like around the home i think of it like being in someone's living in i should leave the place in your same state i found it in full of these on that often the 1st side to it lasts for a week and the group is on the go day and night because in the dark a whole new side of the lavender fields comes to light fabio loves this diversity the night shooting at night can be tricky the soul that there shouldn't be too much life doesn't happen for some time like that's also really cool it's ok to just have the blackest night sky and the milky way but sometimes it's also nice when there's a bit of the glowing from the city down below hello i'll start. with that classic uhaul martin in the love in the fields everyone is sure to find
