roister the secluded beaches. 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 guards are amazing. there is no place on earth like it and all around you have touched beauty and land. eisley 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 to mix it until, 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 device lens tourists ever seen west fjords where summer's 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 surfer as breathing extreme conditions and much more stretching 10 kilometers along the west fjords. south western edge is literally this on to it for red sands, the color of this and is a rare exception to iceland is normally pitch black, volcanic sand beaches. eisley royce likes to go jogging here. 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 beach and 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 this really beautiful and peaceful head. louder. 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 life and um the remoteness,

i like the remoteness uh, i don't mind being by myself can be lonely. you have a lot of darkness. um. but if you have a close group of friends in the community to be with them, i find it okay. just over 200 kilometers, ne life eats up here to the largest town in the west fjords with a population of 2700. it started as a few wooden houses built by fishmonger and 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 think 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. the starbucks chan delay is load myers most famous item 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, $200.00 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 life. we use traditional craft techniques and then we have the light. so there's a lot of variety to i work and stuff that i fix them to buy. ready to use high shot, build the frame for the chandelier, and then makes the pipe fittings what's the good? this other pieces of pipeline cards and i use for the chandelier intact with the themes and also to the pipe over the illumination a lot of it. they also 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 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 hidden 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 gloss stein's telescope vehicle shed leo way 16 kilograms tend to be shipped to the united states. so that's also a challenge for us to see the home because we export a lot, we always have to meet this specific electrical requirements for that country. but the integrating the electric field that says that means that right in the it's for that contract. and then the wiring problem, everything has to feed the regulations of that country for, for the big thing with this is playing along this. it will definitely be a lot easier if we could just put wecks candles on each one. they would work everywhere before the chance it goes out to the customer. the boss has one last

look. we'll do the safety test for the usa tomorrow. uh, this one has really turned out wonderfully. yeah, sure. and we gotta get one. or the company has high profile customers all over the world. scott interior designer fair is roughly what are the custom size? starbucks, chandeliers, for canadian rapids, right. he supervisor the installation at drake's luxury mansion in toronto, along with the team from look my a dental stuff or the vision to leave we made for drake. was this model but considerably larger at 3.8 weight is higher probably, and it is the 2nd largest gym to layer that's kind of next to the original at the metropolitan opera in new york in the middle part is and it 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. little of my decorated king lou take the 2nd half in teams the casa in southern germany load

. my of chandel is also decorate one of the small ball rooms in vienna's imperial palace. the whole spoke, as well as the auditorium of vivian est opera, and the athens consider the, the loose, the east for the delay is a grand object for ever. and a very dominant part of the architecture is even off. it is just that one. the town needed to complete the overall assemblage. i can see 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 it's, 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 leaves lines plenty of concrete and monumental b. 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 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 ism to paper. she's great at 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 apps, the 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 symbol of 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. so using this, the massive concrete is would be impossible today, they would just be thought to energy intensive info to expensive. but not only that is the technique with which they used to create the surface. and it is using a drill, essentially welcoming 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 brutal, brutal as well. i really like it. but i think if you come with know troy and knowledge of fruit to live in order baba can or the modern architecture, i think it's, it's but difficult. intermittent green areas form away seats in the urban desert. the 3 residential towers reaching 123 meters high number among london's thomas. the buildings 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 blocks, 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 find a stance 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 and they don't need 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

ordinary walk for a dog. molly here is specially trained to find facts and i'm here in monta, 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. would it be difficult? alexis is omar, and his family have been specializing in, travels for 3 generations very, very strong night. good job. my good. yeah. so alex is tell me how do truffles grow in the ground? don't let him so a trifle is a mushroom that lives and cindy uses with a tree or costs around 35 your rows. why is it so expensive? i don't see see shout, but it can expensive because it doesn't sprout like white mushrooms. some spots to the trussel doesn't grow so easily in the fields in a compost. there are several parameters for developing the type 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, which also affects the price. currently, one key low or about $25.00 black truffles can be washed and the impurities are removed. but how do you determine if the truffle is good and wait a good truck and must be firm a good black color? and it must be fragrant into the 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. while so what are we making today?

it looks like 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 the trouble, which is a pleasant c. that's what we're going to put in the eggs. this is clement, on this one. 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. 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,
