smell only to shine for the use the it's time to give her up for some spectacular landscapes as we are off to a well kept secret in iceland. also we'll look into the high end business of handmade chandeliers, a manufacturer in vienna. shares its story and buddhist architecture are these 19 fifties buildings, things of beauty, or rather massive monstrosities. this in more coming up to date on your role max

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 on this list. it john i would sure volume score 2 of those apples to add phones. i like sculpture based on the because it's 3 dimensional. do it on

this, but on the golf course, creating one on a pencil that is very complicated. ok. the naval clean, the other 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 pencil sculptures. he's motif 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. but she'll 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 out of to do it. but in most cases, i choose my teeth from my immediate surround thinking with even this i, or cause you 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 i'm a dresser dating from the 17th century. the public fountain built in more style. yes. and courtyard to bitch has already found his next motif always on us, yet. applicants thoughts behind us as a replica of the old southwell towers 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 direction 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 has added 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, and on their complexity,

the t needs between 5 and 10 hours to rough out the designs, but it can take days to refine it for his miniature tower. he uses numerous scuffle blades as well as needles of election audit. and it came with dave with the but it just got to just easier to work on. subjects like the human body where you can correct the shapes of a few things while you were working you. some of it did look good. where's buildings have strictly straight line? i'm assuming that must be followed precisely about the lean nicholas. similarly, suppose the yes angle george of which puts the finishing touches on right in front of his subject. here. it's the tower, a stretch that make for the most interested work. it requires has full concentration and dexterity to ensure the graph doesn't break before the artworks finished with the total it. 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 talk with them. i want to use my skill and this kind of bottom 40 this deal to present these motifs. and then you were able to split, posted the day with the costuming that can do 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 is 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 royce. a

secluded beach is towering water falls 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 fjords are amazing. there's no place on earth like eggs 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 it's always good to be prepared for all situations here. the west fjords are a vast maze of fjords and peninsulas. distances are long. the best way to get around it by car, but in winter, 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 the west fjords 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 somers 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. southwestern edge is literally the sun towed for red sands. the color of this and 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 that nature as it is just to the west rises to allow traviata, prominent tory, the clips tower up to 450 meters high. i really can spend hours here just watching the birds listening to the waves, photographing the birds even taking it off and just relaxing. it's really beautiful and peaceful, has loved somebody out 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 found it very easy for me living here and i said, and i think the challenges weren't so negative in my opinion. um the remoteness, i like the remoteness, i don't mind z by myself to me alone. leaves 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 pizza, a few of the largest town in the west fjords with a population of 2700. it started as a few wooden houses built by fishmonger then the 18th and 19th centuries. now eisley 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 things 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 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. this renowned v and these companies, chandeliers transform ordinary rooms into bold rooms. the manufacturer has a reputation for its extraordinary lights and designs, 200 of which a salting chandeliers, since 1850. so beautiful. the team is united by a passion for croft. this one is perfect,

leased up in his office and i've always been fascinated by life. we use traditional craft technologies and then we have the light. so there's a lot of variety to our stuff it. i'll fix them by. ready to use high shot, build the frame for the chandelier, and then makes the pipe fittings what stick to this other pieces of pipeline cards and i use for the chandelier intact with the beams and also to the pipe over the illumination a lot of the day off like the. ready top to be cut to size the pieces of family touch together. for example, in this that cold phrasing. then the surfaces of finished elsewhere. afterwards they go to eric mandel, he's responsible for the assembly and the electrical parts. all the cable connections are discreetly, she didn't in the chandelier, seeing the once the frame is finished,

the work begins on for this particular piece consists of 16 lamps and about 500 gloves. steins, telescope viewed the chandelier way, 16 kilograms tend to be shipped to the united states. that's also a challenge for us. because we export a lot, we always have to meet this specific electrical requirements in that country. but the integrating the elect click for the items. it says that means that writing documents for that contract and then the wiring problem, everything has to feed the regulations of that country for, for the big thing with this much. 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 for the usa tomorrow. uh, this one has really turned out wonderfully. yeah, sure. and would i get one? or the company has high profile customers all over the world.

scott interior, designer fair is roughly what are the custom size style? the chandeliers, for canadian rapids, right? he's supervisor the installation at drake's luxury mansion in toronto. along with the team from loop maya, the dental stuff or the vision to lee we made for drake, was this model, but considerably larger at 3.8 when he does fire college and it is the 2nd largest gym layer that's kind of 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. busy blue jargon up the box that one detail comes at a price. the cost of, of the chandelier starts in the $5.00 digit range, and from the, the sky's the limit, fine craftsmanship for an exclusive clientele. the page it's aggressive and people are divided over its beauty. brutal list architecture. it's a style that developed in the 1950s, but last 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 lead lines, plenty of concrete and monumental b, this the architectural style known as brutal, isn't polarizes 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 those years we managed to build some of the most fantastic and bows and adventurous buildings. that the country's ever seen 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 is a real landmark of london. not only because of its absolutely 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 and designed by the british architecture firm in chamberlain powell and font 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 the modern architecture, i think it's, it's but difficult. intermittent green areas form away seats in the urban deserts. the 3 residential towers reaching 123 meters high number among london's thomas building, also 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 years. and while the 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's exactly why we do need to make sure that the best examples of protected a brutal isn't an architectural style that divides opinion which is definitely worth seeing. the

improve awesome southern france on the lookout for the climate and soil here make for ideal conditions without health, from 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. my good. yeah. so alexis, tell me how do truffles grow in the ground for costs around 35 years? why is it so expensive? i don't see c, c shopping expensive because it doesn't sprout like white mushrooms, but the trouble doesn't grow so easily in a field. something to compost lucidity. there are several parameters for developing the truffle culture, so that with 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 its might. the trustful harvest can vary greatly from here to hear from our family organizes groups to go trouble hunting. once gathered, the truffles are carefully washed and the impurities are removed. but how do you determine if the truffle is good and wait? a good travelling must be firm a good black color, and it must be fragrant. and aside from producing truffles, visual mar, family, it also runs a bed and breakfast, where from show mar, seen here on the right is in charge of cooking for the guest while so what are we making today? it looks like it's simple, scrambled eggs are on the menu the

i 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,
