The us ok truth is all you know you want to get that photo but you only have two minutes left before the real storm a break it was in a treadmill in fuels larger than it will but. Twenty five year old Bastion Val Knight is obsessed with photographing apocalyptic looking Funder Storms across germany skies. As a child he had
a recurring dream that he was being chased by a tornado as it was nine we live near geneva one day a storm front was gathering in the valley of league geneva i told my parents something really bad is brewing like it was an uphill or counter noon but suddenly trees were strewn across our lawn our neighbors trampoline was blown into our garden trashed grounds and everything was flying about the whole area was devastated recent. A small village somewhere in eastern germany The Green Hue in the picture is a dense haze of hail stones a whopping nine centimeters in sides. Humans have managed to conquer and control the earth but not the skies Storm Chasers are just content with snapping pictures of thunderstorms. They want nothing less than the perfect picture of the perfect storm. And for that theyll gladly travel fountains of kilamba. Just to get that one only important image. Because i get all started in
school i was bullied for years and i even had to change Class Officer because so i needed something in my life to distract. Us and i got interested in the weather and from the storm Chaser CommunityOnline Community because i had finally found a passion all to myself something that Wasnt Football which Everybody Else did and if you me this was a hobby that was all my own something only i knew about do is come out. Storm chasing can be hard work sometimes tireless infuse yes well stay up until three or four in the morning for the fanfic shocked. No need for Flash Photography in this picture the Lightning Bolt upright enough. Serious crap as it thought so when it was a bit of a dicey right if you do it then youre right in front of the storm front as you can see in the picture for the game then a new storm cell emerged in front of this myth but i didnt realize that because it
was dark and of us of a sudden it started raining and lightning struck all around to salute it was all thats why the picture so bright and others was at night what about the lighting boy struck right feeling react so before im wary of thunderstorms at night because i just cant see whats happening you cant trace the clouds at night i have to accept that i dont know Whats Going On what does he have thought of. As a child bastiaan started chasing storms all by himself on his bike he just set off from his parents house. Then at sixteen he got his glider license and at eighteen he used all his savings to buy a car. Hes fascinated by all Weather Phenomena when fall cloud dynamics he travels all over germany and europe in search of ever more dramatic scenery. Piloting gliders has torsional not about reading the weather conditions. Before
setting off bastion carefully studies the weather and its dynamics in leaves nothing to chance but when he arrives on the scene things never turn out as expected. The truth is muslim if the fixed when im finally facing an extreme thunder sound as i get such a sublime feeling a little overwhelming to that moment of it theres that moment of calm and. Its when the air stops flowing into the thunder so begins flowing with their losses and in that moment the wind is completely still he would not leave the dog called that the way they are now you can hear the hail coming in when you listen closely you can hear it coming down in the distance. And hollers. And suddenly. Lightning strikes. In human nature the clouds. Zigzagging from one town to another its
a moment of peace job you see a natural Spectacle Lighting up the sky. Well The Sound Of Thunder must be music to his is we carry on with the delightful sounds of the violin when it comes to crafting the instrument the name stradivari comes to mind but what about mitten vote its a town amid the alpine peaks of bavaria in Southern Germany and has an impressive tradition of violin making every four years musicians and craftsman from All Over The World congregate there to work on the perfect sound the local would also plays an instrumental role. Somewhere here not far from the Bavarian Town Of Midan Vault Two Hundred Fifty year old spruce trees are growing slowly but steadily there would make for sweet sounding violins but whats the oddest thing off by the annual tree ring which should look like a vinyl record and the more regular they are the more valuable the work and who we

Deflation on this one the surface is a bit on the amazing these colors this one shines like a mirror. Effect for me this one is more pleasing. The sound must also be right tim falter who teaches violin at the frankfurt
university of music and performing arts is one of the judges. Who starts it has been clues that well to be perfectly honest i cant get a proper sound from this file and its from that since varnish looks almost like Mass Production is in the uk which can be a problem for the vibration of the.

Involved has been Manufacturing String Instruments for Three Hundred years. The man who introduced the craft was much he has clients to this day that involved celebrates its first lives here as if he were a saint. The instruments that were made here were very good they were inspired by italy were a ts klotz learned many tata sons and then basically every second person here was

Today thinking today there are ten towns location along the trade route from the board to venice meant it was ideally placed for entering the international market. Move. One hundred fifty years ago we were already shipping virus All Over The World not just to move area or south to roll no we were sent to ireland as it wouldnt boxes from new york and from st petersburg. Even today mitt involved has clients from around the globe who order wood to make violins some of the maple wood is over five hundred years old. Or if i got this tree about four weeks ago. Through
this one of the four most beautiful trees ive ever received tops like youre listening to the crew about this much of the last hundred years. Weve had time to develop these characters so to speak we can connect to some one way to people. Judges testing further interviews for best violin. Fifty is powerful brilliant some all with a very interesting time because the oldest was one i would estimate its like new cars have to be broken in my violin needs to be played. So you need to imagine what this new instrument they were assessing throughout it is going to sound like in a few years young. Building violins requires absolute Precision Instruments are then covered up to thirty layers of varnish. But their quality also depends on whether the violin maker is having a good day. Is not good every day is different i love football and after buying
munich lost the german cup final as well as to say that wasnt the ideal date for building up ireland. This year the top prize is awarded to Violin Number thirty six by u g can a call from japan. Cynics might say im tracing the violin is very appealing in this hell put a t. V. Its color and design people are lowering it doesnt feel like its pronounced produced. And its got an Underling Service you know and. It produces a sound that is both powerful and gentle. Under very different tone as far line. Later Tim Full Floor plays a concert with the Award Winning violin and who knows maybe someday it will end up in the hands of a violinist in a famous orchestra somewhere. Now to the third
installment in this weeks series european traditions weve been introducing you to some of the additions to a rather special list its unescos list of intangible Cultural Heritage todays entry is the boss foss not a Swiss Carnival Tradition which is quite distinct from its european cousins for instance socalled fast enough i know or cliques gather at four in the morning to ring the bowels. Bustle carnival starts in the wee hours of the morning with the Mortgage Bank all Morning Shenanigans the revelers described their carnival as the three most Beautiful Day this. Month because of the only instruments allowed for the mug for a beach club in blazes a different subject on its lanterns most often their political satire. And our club we have a commission that the comes up with the subject for carnival. Sometime in autumn that they presented to the rest of the club and then we start the preparations because we love them but when the big lanterns like ours here are painted by artists it takes them two or three months thats a few hundred hours of work to go under the mic. All the clubs where you are months of high def aces the first morning the costumes until the same. The macho is shot which means anything. This is why did you see states rather face the one you can hide behind. But behind
it youre smiling and enjoying the mortgage prize the Nicest Moment Of Basel Carnival is the coming out so on the phone its a combination of the camaraderie and the tradition. But also as a military component. The marching drills we do are almost militaristic man there is some nostalgia involved. Between parades club members go down to their decorated centers to warm up and rest a bit here they speak buzzer g. H. The citys in sherman time. Public School Teacher ive been all like this i did it because the evil is in your balls to just a few months after the Mortgage Trash Ravenous meet up again now theyre in the Theme Costumes Marks out off from the docks club tells the full story that goes with what hes wearing. The suit here has your theme is goodness we have a crisis if you know the idea is that our club is in financial crisis and weve
called in external consultants to show us where we can cut costs we feel the cuts are at the expense of the team weve got really cheap costumes this year recycled large there are no wigs just caps really cheap feathers and the consultant pigs are in the vanguard of what was called the ones who are getting all the money weve saved on the. Items on. The basel carnival they still celebrate it exactly the way its been for the past One Hundred Fifty years there are strict rules for the culture of the Afternoon Parade Spectators are requested not to wear costumes nor are they allowed to sing and sway along. This think that both know that thats probably the thing that sets it apart from other carnivals the separation between the actual participants and the spectators but theyre a very important part of it all were doing it for the spectators benefit. From the
floats the vikings. Hand out treats for the children. Along with the piccolo players and dramas the cortege also features brass bands they play whats called good music made the guild knows hes a devil greens but in their own special way. Since twenty seventeen the boss of konovalov has been on you ness goes this to intangible Cultural Heritage of humanity a source of great pride for the clubs belief that it Doesnt Change Anything for us specifically but its really a recognition of this local tradition one that centuries old. After exactly seventy two hours the carnival always comes to an end but not long afterwards club members start planning the costumes now when next year it bounces enthusiasm for conifer is passed down from generation to generation. Now food waste is
unfortunately a big problem here in europe many people and businesses end up throwing away spoiled food due to inadequate planning but fortunately there are enterprising minds like eve kourou in the austrian capital of vienna you noticed that bananas in particular were being thrown away in great numbers so he decided to turn his surplus into wine. Waste not want not even to cruise tomato every week he sells his rather unusual wine and viennas not. Most People Struggle to discern what the beverage is made from. Seeing this unfold it has a very interesting flavor and aroma the initial takes to is a little strange for wine drinkers but then it gains in body in law fish like in fight to the sea and tastes different light and refreshing its not too strong i thought. I noticed the banana and the off to taste. Banana wine is mainly popular
in africa even to kourou came to austria from his native home the Democratic Republic Of The Congo when he learned how much fruit gets thrown away in europe he started buying up over ripe bananas so by this the bun under most people stop buying bananas as soon as they get brown spots or start getting sweet sear just get thrown a workable its we have so instead of letting them go to waste speak to we buy them to go for the air make something new from the muffin was nice to us. He pays ten year rose for a crate of bananas which is about half the original price during the course of the year event his wife make three to four batches of banana wine the first of the bananas are peeled and the fibers removed so the wine doesnt taste bitter then its time for fermentation. The wines sugar content depends on the type of banana they use after four to six months in the tank of the wine is ready. To open anyway and if you miss world to me
a banana wine tastes like banana wine its its own thing and you cant cry there are two white wine or other wines so its and i and it has its own aroma its own after taste is from. One hundred kilos of bananas from around thirty to forty metres of wine in this way if you could who has already saved around thirty tonnes of bananas from being wasted hes especially proud of that.
