Has already won 8 1st places in body painting in russia here she is competing in the category special effects where decorations of latex or silicone are also allowed on the body. I like the fact that it goes quickly that i can bring my ideas to 9 and combine going to painting with props and all sorts of decorations. You have to keep your hands steady and think carefully so the lines are clean on the on the whole composition. You have to be able to look with colorless. Body painting is an ephemeral art style rain is a nightmare water washes the colors away the finished artwork is photographed later. Until that happens a lot of time can pass. Synch so 7 now has 7 allies plus all the preparations at home before hand so that i never get. The russian artist and her model have been working together for 6 years theres no place for shame in bodypainting. Whats needed is stamina. Or no my legs get to sleep and when the girls paint my next from both sides i have to stand for a long time and then i start to get fidgety sometimes they complain and i tell them wait a minute i just need to relax a bit. There are 6 different categories for World Champion among them the working techniques of brush and sponge and airbrush. But the competition is only part of the festival. The bright colors unusual motifs and art installations attract more than 30000. 00 visitors each year. Before the deal when i take pictures in the come is a fascinating book and so is what the models do. Their ideas they come up with a just great. Fun test theyre going up to my daughters really into art and she does camus so i thought this would be very inspirational for her just to see you the talent thats brought throughout the world and how you can change your body weve just paid for this by prosthetic car and its amazing insight i cant believe it so cool. The worlds best body painters have been coming to the austrian festival since 1908. Because theyre you know it is here for the 5th time and has already competed in several categories. Is it for shipment this festival has the most candy craze the only problem is getting usually in this time we had to come from moscow by calm mostly we usually fly but i cant carry as much as i want to on the plane become flying with big props but sure as anyone can watch it with the quarter. Of fantasy creature inspired by the mayan civilization. This puts her in 5th place. A quick snap for eternity because in a couple of hours the colors will all be washed away. Our next report is about a festival of a completely different kind where theres not only something for the eyes but above all something for the ears because we are about to visit a gas festival in italys south tiro region musicians from all over the world performed there not only in smoky death caps but also in parks lakes in castles and factory halls but the icing on the cake at the spectacular concerts in the mountains. The italian dhanam lights are a perfect natural concert stage. The sets are all jazz festival is at home here at an altitude of 2000 meters the british band perhaps contraption performs several times its a feast for the years and for the eyes. But. Its a special occasion for in some bill founder christos square. Its certainly the most. One of the most magical places weve played. Yeah this beautiful environments and with this this backdrop yeah its very very special concert for us weve never done anything like it shortly before the show the musicians from london find that playing at these heights is a completely new experience. And the venue presents special acoustic conditions to. Look at some really bad i think if. The whole a mound seance just over yeah i would get sound spotlessly at the technical of the cowles oh yeah background there in the wrong key were going to have to lease a car. Release the house. For the audience the free open air concert is a real experience on many a holiday makers who came to go hiking or cycling into the elements the nearest major town is almost an hours drive away. That is the atmosphere is also great i think i just find it exciting in the environment like this its simply a work of a. Art the whole thing is indescribable you know every little communication is wonderful with a backup in the musicians are fantastic and they should call a fantastic scenery the whole environment southie role is beautiful. The british just musicians play in front of 3 different huts today they hike between the concert venues. Very. Fun forgettable moments and ponder ramas are guaranteed. I can honestly say it unlike any performance experience ive done with any band in my in my musical career so its definitely something thats been kicked off the list but like i say id love to do it again sometime. I knew i was going to have any. Experimental sounds but otherwise only nature is here. High altitude concerts in northern italy an unforgettable experience. While the view is the. Passion from the audiences to follow us on this journey. The altitude sickness. With the playing. And just lots of laughter lots and lots of laughter.

Anyone who has ever been to the south of england would have noticed the numerous ones on the river thames once a year theres a ceremony to find out just how many of them there are swan upping is a custom from the 12th century when the swans were still a popular delicacies surf to royalty the swans are no longer eat enough course and today the ceremony is directed towards conservation of these beautiful birds. These arent just any songs they are royal swans they belong to Queen Elizabeth the 2nd but at least some of them do just how many belong to the queen is the term and during swan upping a tradition thats much loved by many brits. We just love watching it live ceremony we live in windsor and it just may come out this way to see it happen today they start at some. Times and they come down to the buy some to normals so. Its part of the station below says its good with. Taps on. The tradition of counting swans in the river thames dates back to the 12th century back then people used to serve them up on high days and holidays a delicacy that wasnt reserved for the royals everyone wanted to own swans majesty has the right to claim any swan swimming in open waters on the mall but in the United Kingdom the king or the queen gave Royal Charter to many many people and they used to buy the moment beaks so you had this unique mark on the peak and that carried on for years and years and years david barber has been her majestys official swan marker since 1903 they no longer feature on royal menus but every year they are counted unexpected the boats and uniforms date back a century. We lift them out of the water we put a toy around their legs and the adults around their wings we will take them ashore we will weigh them we were measured and we checked them for any injuries. Nowadays the young swans are only marked for the gills of victims and dyers. Based on who the birds parents are the royal marker do. Barber decides that they belong to. Mark birds belong to the sovereign. These days the upholding of the tradition is about conservation. In recent years when being herman has had to rescue a lot of swamp. It ranges from fission injuries doctor to doctor toxins. And then the dogs attack swarms. We are shooting people shoot them deliberately we have so many injuries people think its not busy but weve busy we run. To raise awareness about the safety of the swans david barber and his team also speak to schoolchildren who are all ears even get a chance to stroke the cygnets. If it goes the right way. The right way into conservation in education people the public like it of course is protecting the small population of the thames for the future if we work here we would have more difficulties wed lose a lot more schools.
