introduced a century ago. fine hides a level of precision for the individual parts is changed because of the technological progress we used to work to within half a centimeter. today we measure micro meters but as for the drum generally nothing's changed i don't mind a tone of that it makes noise now for. another thing that remains unchanged is the relationship that all drummers develop with their instruments. the passion i have when i see these these wonderful instruments is still here was when i was thirteen four when he's our guide from our local music shop and organ in the drums and looking

mountains up next we take to the us and southern germany and make our way to italy. in the summer of a hike as idyllic mountain scenery laughs green valleys and rivers that flow into lakes not only hiking there is not a walk in the park but it could be next year there will be a new way to hike through the alps very comfortably your pov lot are from austria has put together a special program for beginners let's take the easy way and try it out. mountains as far as the eye can see picturesque valleys and mountain villages this is what the alps are famous for. catalina of course says hiking in the mountains gives her a real sense of freedom. from what i love about it is the connection that you have with nature where you're outside the whole time and you're walking the path yourself. well you're not driving your car or riding a bike you're not being supported by electronics or other technology. it's just you want to. make so no one is. today she's trying out a new trail hiking from the damage packing here sent in germany into austria and on to south to roll in italy. from austria mapped out the trail. the routes only includes parts of light to medium difficulty so it's a long distance hiking trail designed for beginners and. first time life is the pits at germany's highest mountain it's almost three thousand meters summit offers a panoramic view of more than four hundred mountains in germany italy austria and switzerland. the hike through the alps starts at the foot of the bits and heads towards air found in austria on the first day hikers covered in turn to have commanders. in the mountains you always have to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather garrick pavlov has spent the past forty years hiking in the mountains and knows exactly what kind of clothing is needed. to make the case the up also you want underwear that is breathable perhaps made with merino wool or a synthetic fabric that dries very fast in far less than lightweight trousers that are also fast drying in case the grain is. the most important of all good hiking boots that are ankle high waterproof cortex for example with a good tread. day two begins with a trip on the cable car up to an altitude of fifteen hundred meter as today's route will pass through the guy style valley and is slightly more challenging. to get something that has legs fifteen point five kilometers it will take you around four and a half hours i should easily manage that. those who don't feel up to it can opt to go by car instead no one has to carry heavy bags either. all they need is a small backpack which should contain the following. already charged cell phone with emergency numbers saved should it become necessary that's vital. for normal. it's also good to have a hiking route highlighted and i think it's a. plus drinking water high energy snacks suncream a first aid can't and warm clothing. the walk is divided into six day stages the entire route is seventy six kilometers long even experienced hikers like catalina cause find their muscles hurt now and then so are. the women undergoing the most strenuous part of today's stage was when we found there was a particularly long steep section you do then feel it in your calf muscles or heels . every two hours the hikers stop for a break and a bite to eat. the rich passes a number of selected alpine cafes and restaurants many of them serve which is a to roly and specialty that can be savory or sweet. hiking is extremely good for you it strengthens your immune system and builds up muscles and this our pine track is also suitable for children or the elderly the beautiful surroundings are real tonic in themselves. here we have a fantastic view of the dollar that's the sharon behind that is the rosengarten group in the middle of the violet towers and right at the back and already see the public group which is in trying to know. the final stage leads to the town of sam geneseo the parish church stands out from the farm it dates back to the fifteenth century. some of the hikers then up to visit the italian city of bones are no further south. this is where the trail ends. right now as a concept willis to the entire tour is a very pleasurable way of hiking and it combines all the positive aspects of beautiful views on the great paths good food it was perfect. as i'm far past. this new trail across the alps on foot will do you. bailable from the summer of twenty nineteen perhaps it will tempt even the most dedicated of couch potatoes among us to come and enjoy these wonderful themes. on next record will evoke memories for many including me it's about an exhibition which features all the war disney characters from doc burke residence such as donald and daisy dock along with other disney characters are brought to life by many different industries the first and most famous one of all was for disney himself but over the decades the character's changed as others replaced him that's a look back. mickey mouse the world's best known cartoon character will always be associated with this man american animation film pioneer walt disney . he actually stop drawing cartoons in the mid one nine hundred twenty s. but his name soon became synonymous with the worst. and it was decided that it would be better for the company for want disney himself and in terms of revenue to keep everything under his name. freud got freed sun was one of the disney company's very first employees he invented the mickey mouse character personality. the mouse this transforms from a kind of adventure as we know him complete with shorts and those large ears into a respectable family father kind of character who lived by the prevalent norms of the one nine hundred fifty s. and sixty's. that side is definitely going to go through to. the exhibition in the museum features many original disney cartoons including works by the pharaoh who created donald duck as we know him today he produced donald duck comic strips for thirty one years even though we had to buy his own pens and paper at one point when the disney company was trying to save money. he used his unique creativity but also his own personal circumstances as inspiration for the donald duck story. and daisy duck was modeled on his own wife. that's not my personal interpretation but based on what his wife lucy taliaferro sat. in the late one nine hundred fifty s. at this new cartoonist earned six dollars and forty six cents an hour which was more than the average income in america at the time but hardly a fortune considering the huge revenue generated by the disney empire income for which cartoonist carl barks was partly responsible he created disney's scrooge mcduck. today artists like younger bronson have taken over drawing disney's iconic cartoon characters he uses a pencil and paints just like in the good old days ninety years ago even after all this time the characters of lost none of their appeal thanks in part to all those hard working illustrators employed by disney. our next stop is the who of the early in the west in germany for me it's a trip back home before i moved to berlin alist and gone for a long time that it's of coal mining safe the city is in. today most of the mines have closed but the spirit of the in this to inmates germans. once so it's beauty in this current exhibition it puts the architect of the world in the spotlight. a photographer in search of the perfect picture everything has to be just right it can take a good steer garton a long time to find a motif he is happy with he says sunshine is a nightmare and shadows can ruin a photo. the clink of brick facade of this house into sport appears to meet his demands and building is part of a bow house complex that dates back to one nine hundred thirty. it was designed by architect emea who'd author mavis. i'm really busy i haven't seen anything like this before it's very artistic in a static the rather the edges mean i have surface color and shape everything i look for and powerful architecture. it's the unspectacular places that fascinate gets. and the mixture of colors on various surfaces. his love of artistic images was evident even in his early works. it's the more been now things of life that interest him every day i think the beauty of which often goes unnoticed. that's gotten believes it's his job to discover images not invent them so he strictly opposed to any doctoring of photos he does help things along occasionally but he spruces up the motif not the photo. of the bottle so that's the most they ever do. that you can still see the traces of time the bricks. that have not been sunglasses under still black from the sort produced by the local coke implants. back in the studio he examines the first prints everything has to be perfect the depth of focus the light the colors otherwise it's not idea god. is just slightly too cool it's got a bit of a blue tint and maybe it's a bit too light i'll do another sample home. he needs good daylight to really check the colors carefully. steer garden's images are always timeless he purposely avoids anything that would date the photo including all signs of life there's no graffiti on the sides of the houses no cars in the street. people are also conspicuously absent from his field. but that very much limits his choice of motifs he's now come to the johann inhofe neighborhood in this book it was built in one nine hundred fourteen for office workers linked to a local coal mine he's found one corner of a house that's perfect well almost. that's a bit macabre i think i'm photographing a dead mouse that's a sign of life really but i'm not going to remove its. guts dear gardens photos pay homage to the overlooked details of life proof that beauty can be found in the monday for those who have advice to see. now it's time for you to get creative again and join in our weekly series your makes the i why we show you how to brighten up your home in no time with just a few items today our expert is building a ladder but this one all take you very far that's because actually that's how rick here's how it stop. let it have many uses they can also

top and that also attach to the. and let the whole thing dry. once everything is drawing strength a lot up with paint outside if possible. you see little blocks of food to support it. and do the same thing on the other side of the ledger. and let it dry again. then your letter is ready for use for example to launch in the bathroom. i used great spray paint on my leather think you can keep the
