the but 1st it's off to bosnia herzegovina, to see how one sculptor transforms a typical every day writing instrument into a masterful work of art. a pencil is so much more than a writing implement. it can also be carved into delicate master pieces like these crafted by busby and pencil artist. yes. include georgia beach let's see people. um it must, it got obviously volume score to it as opposed to ad phones. i like sculpture based on the because it's 3 dimensional to it on. and then of course, creating one on

a pencil that is very complicated. not the naval claim that it takes you to a higher level. and that's precisely what fascinating this meal about, this kind of odd of us doing. the artist has already produced more than $200.00 pencil sculptures. his motifs include the world's tallest building, device, porch khalifa, tower, and an interpretation of edified monks the screen. through his work hole, pencils become trains passing through tunnels. y'all should be on the likely. so normally i choose things that are right around the the sometimes i also work on objects that come from pop culture article to it. but in most cases, i choose my teeth from my immediate surround thinking with even this i, or cause you or in his whole city of to, is that he's already immortalized numerous tourist attractions. in graphite. like

the statute of king for code, the 1st of bosnia, or the former gate of a dresser dating from the 17th century and the public fountain built in moorish style. yes and cold joy tibbetts has already found his next motif always on us, yet applicant. what's behind us? as a replica of the old salt? well, how is that? we used to mine salt lake, but this was known for it sold 5. it's a, it's a name to us. the self derives from to the, to contribute for sold is not useful. george of each miniature pencil sculptures have been attracting attention for a decade. now, he's presented his art is more than 30 exhibitions around the world. and recently, at a gallery in paris, georgia of each cannot live from his art. the price is for his pencil sculptures. start at $400.00 euros, and depend on their complexity. the

t needs between 5 and 10 hours to rough out the design. but it can take days to refine it for his miniature tower. he uses numerous scuffle blades as well as needles of the election audit. and it came with dave at the but it just got to just easier to work on. subjects like the human body where you can correct the shape. so a few things while you were working. you spoke of it to the good where is buildings have strictly straight line. i'm assuming that must be followed precisely about the leading equation. what are you supposed to look at? yes, single george image puts the finishing touches on right in front of his subject. here it's the tower stretch that make for the most interested work. it requires has full concentration and dexterity ready to ensure the graphite doesn't break before the artworks finished log in with the list. and that's because any of the many of

the sizes of the test now have already been kept to take in photographs and painting the douglas. and i want to use my skill and this kind of honestly the steel to present these motifs. and then you were able to split, posted the day, it would be a full costume and they can do it. after several hours, his work is completed, two's less. southwell tower has been cut down to size and fits on the tip of a pen. so the west fjords in iceland are a true natural paradise and a well kept secret. the remote peninsula lies in the north west of the country and to sparsely populated even by iceland its standards. perhaps that's why it's worth discovering. the fascinating landscape has also caught the eye of nature, photographer eisley voiced the secluded beaches,

towering waterfalls and spectacular landscapes for all found in the west fjords ice limbs remote natural splendor. just look at the view, you can see how beautiful it is. the west guards are amazing. there's no place on earth like it and all around you have touched beauty and land. finally, royce has lived here for almost 5 years. she draws inspiration from it for her photography, and her enthusiasm is by no means hers alone. the australian lonely planet travel guide lifted the west fjords among its best in travel areas for 2020 to $1.00 of isley royce. favorite spots is a 10. yeah. and they waterfall the most challenging things for me? i think as a photographer, are the weather here and the elements because the weather and the elements can both

be unforgiving. they can be not so kind to you at times. and so is good to be prepared for all situations where the west fjords are a vast amaze. fjords and peninsulas. distances are long. the best way to get around it by car, but in winter, for many of the roads stay closed. we have all this abundance of nature and there's no one around. and so you can go hiking driving and there won't be anyone around and you'll have it pretty much it all to yourself. in some ways, i would say it's arrest yards. makes me feel like i'm in another planet, or it's just somewhere so far, like i'm at the edge of the earth or something. only about 10 percent of iceland tourists ever see the west fjords, where summers are short and winter's long. the land kind of shows do you like who's

in charge here and the weather because in the end, like the conditions are so harsh in the winter and, and just gives you much appreciation for it. the german american is not only a photographer, but also a filmmaker. on her travels around the island, she observes for coast arctic foxes, surfers breathing extreme conditions and much more stretching 10 kilometers along the west fjords. south western edge is literally the sun towed for red sands. the color of the sand is a rare exception to iceland normally pitch black volcanic sand beaches. eisley royce likes to go jogging here the. i really enjoy this beach here in the us yards. because the remoteness and the uniqueness of it specifically, if i were to go to the north sea in germany or

a beach in southern california, it'd be crowded with people. but here i can just enjoy it. the nature as it is just to the west rises to allow trump a prominent tori. the clips tower up to 450 meters high. i really concerned hours here just of watching the birds listening to the waves, photographing the birds and taking it off and just relaxing this really beautiful and peaceful head lounge. what i'm yeah. because also well known as one of the world's largest bird clips making it a popular photo subject. during the summer, millions of sea birds nest on it, including puffins. you can get up close and personal with them here. i thought it very easy for me living here. nice and and i think the challenges weren't so negative in my opinion. um the remote in this, i like the remoteness, i don't mind be by myself can be lonely. you have

a lot of darkness. but if you have a close group of friends in the communities of us, then i find it okay. just over 200 kilometers. ne lies the southfield. that's the largest town in the west fjords with a population of 2700. it started as a few wouldn't houses built by fishmonger then the 18th and 19th centuries. now i see royce to lives here. i really can't at the moment see myself living anywhere else in the world. i mean, look at this place. where else can you find a view like this and beautiful nature and being so secluded and so far away from all the stress of the big cities in life. and here is just perfect for me. ice lens, west fjords, a beautiful region still waiting to be discovered the

time now the shed some light on the business of handmade chandeliers. today, most of them are produced by machines speak because making them the traditional ways too expensive. only a handful of companies still dedicate themselves to the craft, and one can be found in austria's capital vienna, the just a few finishing touches then it's complete. this double chain delay is load myers most famous items all over the world. these renowned v and these companies, chandeliers transform ordinary rooms into both rooms. the manufacturer has a reputation for its extraordinary lights and designs, $200.00 of which are sold in more than 40 countries. every year. the company has been hand crafting chandeliers, since 1850. so beautiful, the team is united by a passion for croft. this one is perfect,

least up to me. okay. i've always been fascinated by light. we use traditional craft techniques and then we have the light. so there's a lot of variety to our consecutive. i fixed them by. ready to use high shod built of frame for the chandelier and then makes the pipe fittings what sticker, this other pieces of pipeline cards. and i use for this sandy leah intact with the beams and also to the pipe over the illumination water. 50 also like the. ready top to be cut to size the pieces of family touch together. for example, in this step called praising, then the surfaces are finished elsewhere. afterwards they go to eric mandel. he is responsible for the assembly and the electrical parts. all the cable connections are discreetly, she didn't understand. we are seeing the once the frame is finished,

the work begins on this be seeking a piece, consists of 16 lamps and about 500 gloss stones loose. the visa chandelier weighs 60 kilograms, and it will be shipped to the united states. that's also a challenge for us. because we export a lot do we always have to meet this specific electrical requirements so that your country meet, the integrating, the elect, click for the items. so it says that means that right? it's all good for that contract. and then the wiring problem, everything has to feed the regulations of that country for, for the sticking with this inch. but in the long this, it will definitely be a lot easier if we could just put wex candles on each one. they would work every with the full dish and uh it goes out to the customer. the boss has one last look. we will do the safety testing just for the usa tomorrow. uh, this one has really turned out honestly. yeah, sure. and we,

they get on the company has high profile customers all over the world. scott interior designer various were fully for the custom size. starbuck chandelier, for canadian rapids, drake, he supervisor the installation at drake's luxury mansion in toronto. along with the team from lope maya, the dental stuff or the vision to leah, we made for drake, was this model, but considerably larger at 3.8 when he does college and it is the 2nd largest gym layer that's kind next to the original at the metropolitan opera in new york in the middle part of that will buy in new york. the original was designed in vienna in the 19 sixty's for the metropolitan opera house. in the 19th century load, my decorated king lunatic. the seconds has in teams a causal in southern germany. load maya chandel is also decorate one of the small

ball rooms in vienna's imperial palace. the hospital as well as the auditorium of the v in a state opera, and the athens constant hold the dilutes the east fit in. the motion delay is a grand object for around. a very dominant part of the architecture is even all the design. it is just that one detail needed to complete the overall assemblage. i can use that one detail comes at a price. the cost of a v and a chandelier starts in the $5.00 digit range. and from the, the sky's the limit. fine craftsmanship for an exclusive clientele, the it's full, it's aggressive and people are divided over its beauty, brutalized architecture. it's a style that developed in the 1950s,

but loss of popularity in the 1980s because people viewed it as too cold. many examples, however, still exist and have developed a cult following, especially in the u. k, where the movement began, who lead lines, plenty of concrete and monumental be this. the architectural style known as brutal as a whole arises like no other. some see the heavy weight buildings as oppressive. others say they are daring ventures in architecture that deserve to be seen and protected . a present of stock text it to me is such an exciting, bold and vicious project. it's really will say, squeezed into a few days in the 20th century, but in noises we managed to build some of the most fantastic and bows and adventurous buildings, that the country's epicene conservator,

henrietta billings has put her fascination with brutal lism to paper. she's created a map of 50 buildings in this style around london. one of her favorites can be found in west london. the 98 meter high charlie tower. it was designed as social housing by the british on gary and architect and new gold thinker and completed in 1972 back then it was the you case, thomas residential high rise and nickname, the tower of terror because of the areas 5 crime rate. but these days, it's a popular residential area, and the iconic building is even available as a souvenir clinic tower. it's a real landmark of london. not only because of its opposite e, monumental architecture. it's really striking silhouette, but it's also really recognizable from anywhere. um, and it's probably one of the reasons why it's been so successful in terms of merchandising. back to the center. the capital's biggest on some of the brutalized

architecture is located in the city, london's financial district. here we find the barbecue, designed by the british architecture firm in chamberlain, powell and bon when it was opened in 1982 queen elizabeth the 2nd described as a modern wonder of the world. visitors can learned about its unique concept in guided tours. using this, the massive concrete is would be impossible today. it would just be far too energy intensive and start to expensive. but not only that is the technique with which they used to create the surface and is using a drill. essentially what come in drilling this surface to create this really on even texture. the barbican includes a performing arts center, an art gallery and residential complexes. architect melanie issue that has renovated some 2000 of the plats for clients. she's lived in one of them herself for a while and knows that many of her former neighbors are banned. so brutally some personal

isn't. well i really like it. but i think if you come with know troy and knowledge of brutalizing or the baba can or more than architecture, i think it's it's but difficult. intermittent green areas form a waste seats in the urban deserts. the 3 residential towers reaching 123 meters high number among london's tallest building fall so unique for the fireworks reserved for pedestrians. while road traffic past has been a. henrietta buildings also appreciates the bar begins shifting perspectives and simplicity. we're just looking at stat k 2 into one of the blogs, but it's just 3 simple materials, concrete stealing plus. what i love about is just the simplicity of it, of 3, that simplicity you get designs like this and, and through the glass you see the concrete steps. and again, you see the still finest is to even 3. the class. you see the same repetition of

materials. i love it. on the south bank of the thames between westminster palace and tower bridge stands london's most prominent, brutally structure, the royal national theatre designed by english architect. so dennis, less than and completed in 1976, prince charles once compared it to a nuclear power plant. the complex was renovated for some 100000000 euros as well of a theater is protected. other brutal? the structures are in danger of demolition. what we need to be careful of is diminishing these buildings because we think that they have less funny because we think that that more than, than they do any protecting. but actually, it is exactly why we do need to make sure that the best examples of protected a brutal isn't an architectural stock. the

more you are ups, the rich culture on facebook discover stunning landscape. enjoy our fine cuisine with your own. that's bringing you a wealth of events, european traditions taking action so be sure to check out our facebook page. many call this delicacy, black gold, truffles, shavings from black. truffles are added to dishes, to give them a richer flavor. these mushrooms fro seasonally in the south of france, where you can take part in the search for them. it helps though to have a nose your companion along in the hunt. this is not an ordinary walk for a dog. molly here is specially trained to find so called black diamonds in france.

hi roy. i megan lee from your own. the risk of france is a leader when it comes to harvesting truffles. a well trained nose finding these delicacies wouldn't be difficult. alexis is omar and his family have been specializing in truffles for 3 generations. very, very strong smell. right. good job. good. yeah. so alexis, tell me how do truffles grow in the ground without the presence of a tree? the trouble cannot develop. so this black travel costs around 35 year rose. why is it so expensive? i don't see see shelf that expensive because it doesn't sprout like white mushrooms, but the trussel doesn't grow so easily in a field to compost lucidity. there are several parameters for developing the trouble of culture, toyota to see. those parameters include a soil that is rich in limestone, and at the same time, soft and moist. the truffles here develop at the base of oak trees. the weather

plays an important role. truffles also need plenty of water, but even with the ideal conditions in place, there is no guarantee of finding a trustful, even the keenest of knows it's might confess, between 701000 years. during the harvest season, visually washed and the impurities are removed. but how do you determine if the truffle is good and wait a good trip and must be firm a good black color? and it must be fragrant. aside from producing truffles, there's room. our family also runs a bed and breakfast, where from show mar, seen here on the right is in charge of cooking for the guest any while. so what are we making today? it looks like it's simple, scrambled eggs are on the menu the

. what does the trussel give to the ex valley to give a lump of eggs or a fatty substance like cream, oil and butter. he diffuses quite well of a sense of a truffle, which is a pleasant year. and that's what we're going to put in the eggs. this is compartment none of the recipe is easy enough to follow. all you need are fresh eggs and then shavings from a truffle. black truffles don't respond well to high heat. they can quickly lose their properties. so their best added quickly to a dish for flavor, the a nice, delicious taste, very earthy like a hint of woods in my mouth. you can also add truffles to a mild column there which absorbs the aroma through this experience. i've learned

that the search for these black diamonds is a very delicate business, but after having them in my eggs, i can honestly say, i don't think that i can have them any other way. another day's work has gone to the dogs, but when working with molly here in france, that's a good thing. and that wraps up today's show. be sure to check us out on social media for more from the world of culture and lifestyle. thanks for tuning in and be sure to join us again next week the
