he said he raised us concerns about trying to support the rushes ball in ukraine and it's a pregnancy to create weapons. and since for the moment coming up next up to break down, but i'm finished by energy and billing. i'll see you back here in 45 minutes. the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carrier is subscribed to this channel, every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a the, there are some places just about everyone has heard of but few truly no

one such place is transylvania male dominated culture that nevertheless has it softer sides. some of these up, russia, horses like a child. horses are like members of the family for us. romano. transylvania is a region with a long history and 5 brand traditions. it's a place where people enjoy life and are even at peace with the idea that one day coming to an end with financial aid, they could buy it. you know, a cemetery is the only one in the world, but people a lot of my problem of them crossing the away from the cities. some places appear almost frozen in time. right. in the heart of europe, the or

the low hanging clouds of mist, sinister legends, vampire stories. transylvania is perhaps best known for the saga of count dracula. brand castle is marketed as the counts home. but the region has much more to offer than spooky mets. its magnificent buildings are the backdrop to dramatic history on gary and germans and romanians have shaped transylvania. in the far north, on the border with ukraine is not what as the region historically, a part of transylvania is known for its skillful crafts people. and the elaborate wooden church is recognized by unesco squirreled heritage sites

in the small orthodox christian community of sep, into residents believe that dest loves would they say that the whole of human life, from the crib to the coffin, is bound up with wood. and people here have an unusual view of death. this is especially evident in the symmetry of this village of 3000 precedents. when a person dies to get their very own personal memorial, a lovingly carved brightly painted wooden cross, a picture, and a poem, each one unique. tell the story of the deceased. honestly, implacably, for better or for worse. for 45 years to meet you, pop has been carving crosses here a place the locals call the mary symmetry. this makes them something of a village chronicler. the plan is for a son in law, you on to one day follow in his footsteps. to do the job. one needs to know

a lot about the people that's offensive. well, this is the new going to split the dean. this is, the whole village knows the story is this deceased women because everyone knew how badly she treated the family, especially son in law and quinton. she repulsed him around it and find me to have to tons touch it. but then people mocked him for him to sort this out. thought as you can, the the do you mean that they're shipping us yada? yeah, cool. good off the back of those. yeah, the family asked me to make a cross that was a true memorial liar for chat local executives when yeah, yeah. she lou matt and chip outside of the think i was like a and this is yeah, so it's a this all colors, silver chest. it's a neat this cross at last, my mother and it all 3 unit. if she'd live just one day, know you might be down 3 credit to you with my there's cross yet. i'm trying to wake up. otherwise she'll come back home to a new and tease me. mean it was it the but reactions for positive because it's

probably the ones that i'd written anything wrong. so no, no problems. how she walked out is if you can say like, got that persona. it's demitra alone, who decides which life event commemorates the deceased and above all, what information is included in the short poem? yes, if what about this on this trunk? this is for a young man who dodge and a car accident. and i wrote the following is national, i rest here to young age is my name is green. cool guy. i get one on the property. put myself an expensive car much mercedes didn't last, long. queen died in my car flat before it did even left last night. my life came to an end, so i think with the phone, you know, i'd at least have deprived me i could now i'm not even migrating preferred to nickel as the final words of remembrance since here, but with a wink and

a notch. but to meet you has no intention of mocking the deceased. he carves paints and writes with one overarching aspiration, cook, underneath the day as the, the due to the idea is to change people's perspective on past the notion, a, mary symmetry is the only one in the world, but people off about that rather than cry know, separately and taking the sorrow out of death emission that became his life's work . over the years, the 67 year old has made a name for himself across romania check. the geographically transylvania farms the center and the north west of romania. the region is surrounded by the elongated mountain ranges of the carpet peons

to snap book as seen as the unofficial capital of transylvania. with some 325000 residents. close it's romania, 2nd largest city, and the cultural economic and scientific center of transfer of ania, the formerly known as cows in the book. it was founded by german settlers and the 13th century. the grand buildings in the old town testify to its great regional significance. today it's mostly young people out and about on the streets. clues is a university city representing a young and modern transylvania an exception in a region that's for the most part room and traditional in the small towns and villages. there's an incredible sense of peace and quiet here.

people still have time or at least they take it on the roads. there are almost as many carriages as there are cars. horses are closely linked to the regions history to this day in transylvania. they're not just an important mode of transport. they're also a state of constantine ramos is the proud owner of $31.00 horses. his farm isn't far from clues. side below. ha ha, ha ha. come to papa. how do you say come to papa? who's the best way? who's to michael? meantime, huh. constantine or costello, as everyone calls and has a close, almost familial like bonds with his horses almost

not even horses are the most beautiful animals on this planet. i have loved horses since i was a kid. when i was 8, i bought myself a donkey. i couldn't afford anything more delicate, bought the food to. but now a days, not only does costello have enough money to pursue his passion, he's also turned into a source of income, eastern breeding and selling horses for 30 years. the the list of, hey look here. so we the guy, come to papa, let give me your leg, the good boy a good boy, but i but of those he's still young because that goes, if you don't train him now he'll kick you in the face later. you has to learn. now the thing just like a child the deal but as much as he correspond to the animals at some point,

it's time to let them go. one of the regions most important markets is taking place tomorrow. stella, the mirror is due to change, hands for the negotiations are already in full swing until the part that means i've asked for 4500 years. i don't know if i'll get that. i have to convince the buyer in person. i'll try and negotiate the highest possible price only the potential buyer wants to see some new photos before meeting the horse tomorrow and the flash coastal rates from my desk, send me crazy. a traditional romanian freed originally used us working animals today to primarily a status symbol at the upcoming horse market and g low. they're highly priced. the

transylvania means beyond the far like i think the old carpet farse cover large areas of to reach right up to the peaks of the car, pacey and mountains. the few people who settled here live with and from nature. it sounds romantic, but it's not so easy. it's 6 in the morning. the start of the working day for shepherd to our desktop bush. even though today's work is little out of the ordinary. for the magazine. ok, now they say it's going to be a tough thing and that's just the way to sort. i couldn't make it well feel i work in my bones this evening, but that's ok. slider can't live from his cheap alone with every 2 months. he steps off to a spire site to make the charcoal the

but that's like i put in the pushes. so if, if you need to chunk out to suffice same, otherwise there isn't enough money funding. we need both the sheet. i'm the child co and then we manage to get by and if they do not so but anyway, you know, some to others, family farm is located high up in the mountains besides cheap. she owns goats, pigs, and a few hectares of forest. meaning he has worked at his disposal with the source material at hand. tried eric and get started. he gradually piles up several tons of phone dry wood. the center, what's known as the quando shaft is crucial. it square twat air will light the fire later to do this. he needs phone dry would have a fine take me. and this secret ingredient, just the brother of the phones alt,

your thoughts. one by one water and this helper stacked the logs in a circle around the core. it looks simple, but it demands great concentration. the spacing is crucial to close and not enough oxygen will reach the core too far apart and it will for an even link doesn't go through with a lot of hold on. and he said, if i did a good job at the end of my life, until then all i can do is how water grow up in the mountains. just him and his parents. well, other children practice writing and mass twat or learn to bring $400.00 sheep safely to pasture, to make cheese out of milk and charcoal out of what? nobody really. i couldn't walk in an office. no, i need the freedom of the freshman out here in nature the most everyone can live in the city. anyway. know in colorado, the stack is almost finished. a pile of wood,

wayne tons with ventilation shafts to water covers it 1st with straw and then with cold, ash and soil. this protects the wood from wind and moisture. finally the lights to fire through a narrow cabin, the stacked news about a vehicle. i need to how are you the more so the fuck catchers on the other side of the family back it. otherwise it will just in the front of zillow. fish in the mountains and the flames go out quickly. but the embers continued to glow beneath the dome where there's just enough oxygen disco lice and controls in v in physical

smouldering fire to prevent the stack from going up in flames. the twat air won't know how good the charcoal will be until he reopens the stag after 5 days. transel dania has been the backdrop of an eventful history. romania is best known region is a melting pot of different european peoples. the culture of the region's ethnic germans as entrenched here to this day. there are more than 150, preserved fortified churches here. an impressive legacy of the chancel being in saxons . they were built around the 15th century to defend against ottoman invasion. and towns like beauty done or a cd swat of residents could take refuge and the structures houses of worship were

turned into proper strong holes with thick walls observation towers, an entire neighborhood. most of the ethnic germans began leaving romania after 1970 . today. around 16000 transylvanian saxon still live in the region. in the village of king, quote, 2 of them are going back to their routes. molina and alex, how that want to preserve the culture and language of their ancestors in particular, the artisan traditions of the transfer being in fact, since the together, they're renovating the house. that once belonged to my lee and his grandparents with old materials and tools when possible. they're currently working on a wooden pavilion details for them. the challenge is when you work with old materials, it's quite normal that nothing fits and everything is crooked because everything

was crafted by half, almost always in the water. well, a carpenter, alex takes care of practical aspects. malayna goes on a daily treasure hunt for old items. her latest find, antique doors and matching windows. she's also discovered evidence of their historic value. i'm trying to move for an afternoon web students to show me that we found the exact technical drawing in the carpenter's book from 1874 lessons in done that provide things like this sa proof that here in this region of transylvania and romania there's an old opposite tradition, that's west reviving the voice the hero. and that's to be, that's a believe. and in their renovation project, the habits utilize their ancestors materials and know how as a way of building sustainably, well saving money. these fines very nearly became firewood. yeah, this is nicholas smith and this yeah. so it's

a great piece of work in terms of craftsmanship and design checklist. it's a real tricia that survive to more than 100 years out in it. but there are still quite a bit of work to do before alex can fit the doors into the wooden frames. it's going in may 2 millimeters. so yeah, that's staying put, let him all the problems disrupts too long and the joint has the wrong dimensions. but alex is not giving up, they're not the scenes. they're challenging. one of them. in his workshop, alex finds a suitable tool for every challenge. the 38 year old collects traditional tools from the region and repairs them. i think that there is, and best of any cutting it from the old tools are better to some of the quality of

steel is better and they're much more robust than the standard tools. you can buy everywhere these dates and come on wednesday. and if they're old and from the village, it's safe to say they were made lie a village blacksmith with a particular craftsman in mind. you must, ex, doesn't up because don't so he'd never give them anything shot because the 2 of them would see each other almost every day. the unconventional project has long been the subject of village gossip or on a visit to look at the city. are sure people shake their heads when they talk about us. i mean, we're the ones who collect all the old junk that would normally be thrown away to make a few quick lane for a scrap iron or firewood to no one's collecting this kind of stuff. so of course, where the freaks around here can see the freaks, but that's just twice quotes. so alex was born in brush of marlena. in bucharest,

they were raised bilingually. but living in germany was never an option for them. their roots to their romanian homeland. drum deep and money, nephews them here, especially that's my new mortgage document is the grandmother dying to know. so i came to the empty house, a short time later certification letter, who said in some other very difficult time in my life that much it should be against that solely mentally. well, a time when i was wondering who i was and what i was actually doing the oh, yeah. so nobody gave me so i wasn't so conscious of it at the time. but it turned out to be a wonderful dream. and so malayna state.

but realizing her dream became more complicated than expected, the couple kept coming up against new unforeseen problems. that's not why little or is it the nails from alex to supply don't fit. they won't be able to continue working on the wooden frames for the pavilion. well, molina and alex tried to find a solution for the to the noise. people are also working to preserve another or to the know transylvania tradition in the little village of suspense. dmitri pop makes us what do we process for the deceased? he's been doing it for 45 years. he feels those sierras and his phones. it's important to him that the traditional past on his son in law is to take over the reins. a huge honor for the young man

and from me she was last time r k y. that is, that's a big responsibility for me. i mean that, that's the wonderful. uh huh. a dental care that i'm not setting out to be better than my predecessor, but i'd like to at least reach his level either. i'd like to achieve that. it pushes, i'm looking at a lot of like many young romanians you on worked on construction sites or funds across europe as a migrant labor. his home brothers couldn't secure him a future, neither personally nor financially, told him at dmitri his daughter and started helping out in the workshop. great, because she worked with across has gave me a purpose of mice again. so that's why i decided to stay in pensa. i felt at home here again, and it was very difficult for me before you spend demetrius apprentice for 2

years and will ideally take over the job soon. but there is one problem. his skills aren't quite up to the master is accepting standards, the . she doesn't care. mazda is about the, i'd like to finish chiseling the up a rece today as to whether that's where you go like to go to tip and i hope it works out. but i'm nearly done here. you, once you've done that much, you can help me with the painting, victoria, that the coaches to come. so i'll do my best on this cross as to be a final memorial to partridge family. friend, the of the

the g low horse market is a combination of trade show and family reunion. it's already packed, just like every year. and traders are still trying to secure an area on the field, which is much too small. the cost down the horse, peter from whose estimates again. but he's determined to find a spot the point. i don't know if any event like this festival is unique, 50, but it's about honor and monitors. it is the same on a lot of money. who costello's hoping to sell one of his best mares today? the potential buyer is also the organizer of the market. the mode of on making sure everything comes together

the future and for some of the screen just goes on this thing i can put into words how important this market is to me. it's in my blood. oh, sometimes my father, my grandfather is my entire family. always had horses and that's how they are in the living between, you know, i don't story. of course it's like a child who remembered informed forces are like members of the family for us romano . so that was really for me to, to this interval will see belongs to the romani ethnic group like almost all those taking part in the market. the 1st through many people arrived in transylvania in the mid 14th century from india and anatolia horse trading as one of this ethnic minorities oldest and most respected professions. with a lot of fanfare, the men try to get potential buyers to notice their voices. negotiations are conducted in a rather crude manner. enough few for such

a 3000 fuel chunk scoundrel, 4000. eventually, at double handshake, seals the deal and the tone becomes friendlier. the horse trading as a male domain in a culture that's generally dominated by man. aside from money, this business is also about socializing. the market is the get together of the year for the romani. they each drink and party into the night. it just depends. it's a different atmosphere. the village in northern pennsylvania is in morning. a member of the close knit community died just a week ago. the widow newtown, has commissioned across for husband stan cork. everyone's still in shock. he was only 57 years old,

and infection resulted in oregon failure document and looked at close with no one saw it coming. you know, if you'd only complain about the pain earlier, if he'd been at the hospital sooner. but it was already too late. his entire body was infected. well, not shooting, so sad in suspense. a people have an unusual added you to death say more, try not to dwell into sorrow. us remember the good things? i think if there's so many photos of it, i check one of our grand daughters just one year old. here i check with slash by the window new to has asked me to pop to make across. as all the villagers do, when enough one dies, locals believe the cross as the entrance to paradise, the contrast,

and what does that have to fix the fact that the on the cross will be a sign of respect for my beloved husband. he knew i'm not worried because i trust to meet your with all my heart. and he says he knows the story of every person he makes across for hutchins changes from here. he was a friend of my husband and they wanna, he knows everything i thought see if that's okay, give them what 15 days from when i do meet true pop, knows don clark and his wife. well, he was at their wedding and their children's baptisms. while demetrius son in law works on the carving, dmitri will write a poem about his departed friend, which is a site survey. and so i was trying to westside when a family member process, i didn't, i mean, we'll miss it. i'm the to the up. i don't have that and if i mean on this occasion to dimitry a little remain true test principles say so. so to present whatever are on that's on the cross to that there's always a surprise for the family into my media. they only see the cross at this stage. and

then again, once it's completely finished the crew, i've never shown as a problem before. i know my but otherwise i might say don't, right, that's on it. no, no, no, no, cuz i protest this is pronunciation, the new tough, fully entrust. demitra was composing her husband's final attribute the to mary's symmetry of spencer. it's one of a kind. 7 like an open book where visitors can read about the late residents of the village. the orthodox christian community facing tests with openness and humor. and there's a lesson in there for the living or to meet you knows how tough life can be. but he always tries to see the bright side

apart from when there is nothing cheerful or humorous to say, as in the case of this little girl. right, just vanessa. i've done and how talk to you that came from cbs. because the biggest, the country is that if we have to stop in front of our house and run me over and make my parents so side, i wouldn't dare to, to didn't judge it could get in this tragic accident that happened in front of the parents of interest sent to the events like this a some painful death. touch it go, else cannot describe it. why should each time i read the sense of grief or touch? if it is a chip intravenous, sometimes how often? when no matter how terrible the fate to meet, you must always find words but the unfathomable, including now for the death of his friend stan,

good. the embers and the charcoal pile of 12 deer top ash has been burning for 5 days. few layer tons of wood to build the stack, also known as a clump quad or smoking as animals quickly today. because his instinct is telling him, it's time to open the club by full mouth, but now for me, i can never be so you'll get a good result. sometimes the cold has been done up in the wood, stays as it has taken a lot of good feeling. we've been trying to put some of the money from the sale of the charcoal as an important source of income for to wider and his family. the animal is alone, aren't enough to make ends meet the water. can't really tell what the pile looks like inside you needs to open it. the price, i mean,

i'm starting here the life cycle mazda needs more time. it's not showing you how to do it. still would need to close the whole again, calculator, so not that they had sampled or just like a back. otherwise i'll smell of a flame again. no ma'am. my electrical components. swat air gingerly closes the gap here on the left. the wood isn't yet sufficiently charged, but the embers aren't evenly distributed. on the right side, it could be ready to waters hoping for partial success. at least i'm not doing like a boy. now i need to see if it's worked a while. not how does it looks good? it didn't say a lot of a tropical slowly starting to show. yeah, yeah, there's a ship that's like a boy from there, it's a child. and just as good with the

i think that's very good. i will call the study back, i think no matter how i strike it, it doesn't break. it's a good quality. the default that that water is family is one of about 20 living in the mountains isolated from the rest of civilization. they rely on each other to survive. water supplies them with his charcoal for 40 late per cent, around 8 your the and there is always fuel in the house for cooking supper today. as much incredible sheets smelt the between the sheep and the charcoal water is confident. how always be able to feed his family

here, tucked away in the mountains of transylvania. the as in ching cool. it's also time to get cooking like her approach to house renovation. melinda, have tried to use what's on hand for her meals today. she's prepping a wine. so a typical dish that her ancestors would have eaten to boost their immune systems. especially when they had a cold shed to care for the trans sylvania and saxons are known to be frugal when it comes to that cuisine. one picked it up. this is canals or the alpha that means using and can see what's available. i'm just used my name is cooking ahead of time because she has an important appointment today. work on the old pavilion hasn't been progressing. alex couldn't find the right

nails for the job. the blacksmith friend should be able to help. he's going to make them custom nails. the head can be slightly bigger, and that's a 50, empty, or radically the head can be just as big toe mustang strikes the iron heated to around 1350 degrees in the fire, into the nails. precise conical shape, there's a small german speaking community in the region. it's a mix of transel vanya saxons, and people who have left germany to come and live here. many of them more says crafts people per artist, a sincere it is slow. oh, wow,

super cool. oh wow. the new nails and the old doors fit perfectly the. the story to 1000000000 project is finally coming alone. is amazing. it can, i can picture it's properly now. it's going to be great. we've got a reason to celebrate. don't wait and i'm going going. so fun. oh, well, you bet. hm, lou. well then let's talk in a couple of things. their friends and helpers with wind soup and cake. their dream of a house with a rich back story in the home of their ancestors is taking shape the and spencer a new data ons. to meet you, pop is finding the right words for the tribute. as late friend as apprentice you on

it's making the final touches to the cross. the do you want is under a great deal of pressure just after all, demitra can't retire until his son in law is able to fashion an entire cross on his own. the more the look record innocent, got it's not perfect is there are a few small mistakes. if you look closely near the most important thing is the, this line here is perfectly straight. so the forms of distinct framework because if you need something to be done that well on your floor. yeah. my, my so my goodness. yeah. the next step is for you one to apply color to the cross. the bright hughes of the grave crosses are just as unusual as the poems and portraits are you on is getting better

all the time. but no one becomes a village chronicler and poets overnight. she goes, no, i'm with, i'm still a beginner. there are many tricks and techniques left for me to learn normal things, but i'm in the best position possible because dimitria is a great teacher. but on to columbus plus, i'm a professor frontier one. i'm confident i'll be able to replace. i'm assuming also then what's good, a good equipment demitra has written around 500 times during his career. this one was especially difficult. but now he thinks he's found the right words. i guess i'm not the gmc session. i you to my here on life to rash. my name is stone. go go to. i'll tell you the truth because the lead my life was not easy. it was defined by look at

a more it didn't have such a full di share. that's why i'm lying and coughing. now, she the only nice thing i love to see if i make snaps from my own apple office. most lovely is with the least showing that you can use do we accept these ties? i sometimes wonder what i'll leave behind that. i'm put, you know, i don't know how many more years i have left. but luckily, i've got someone to take. of course, if i go to page one, if the p i to match cut in between the time comments. so you might hope you want to write the truth, some like cross it to a chip that will be up into coach on the truth about a life in just a few words. that's no simple feet for to meet you and you on life isn't solely about the highest or the lowest, which is why there will always be space for both at the mary symmetry. and so pensa

c. 2 2 g little market, the horses aren't just for sale. they also compete in a variety of contents. the animals must demonstrate their strengths and some square extra points for beauty. nowadays, the market runs itself. organizer proceeds finally has time to devote to his own business. so people couldn't then punch in while you can put it by like something. then i have to have it run out because don't have something i really liked lot you cool. cool. so the i wish you a long live close though. how are you? i'm very well this is the mayor. i'd like to sell also. yeah. she's a beauty. how old is she again so well just to, to use exactly the way i the she's what your price. i'd like 4500,

but i don't know what you can afford. that's daylight robbery. we're not in germany . what's your offer for the 3500 to the 33500 for this man? no. or did you look at her legs like a goddess of the utilities? bully for yourself. look at it. take a close look at the se of the chicago. what's your final price? which photo center offers to low on the customary negotiation is underway. the mentees and provoke one another, seeing how far they can push it. a single hand check signals, initial interest. after some haggling, double handshake, seal the deal. so i don't know. yeah, we're good for the level of good level. been very pleased that

we agreed on 3750 euro. so that's a fair price for both of us shop to set you that the mirror is a perfect fit for my breeding program. when i get the bundle. but it will kind of push the selling. the mayor was meter sweeties that allow me, whatever it is that those, that adults use the car. but i know where she's going, but it opened the door, them over with him that she won't have to work in the forest. she won't be the country in a bunch of minutes. it looks like a father in his child's exact effect because i wouldn't entrust my daughter to a bad man that the gentle good bible is there no bought this useful home audio. that's the way it is with my horse as to the early evening and cos dennis returning test farm and horses and cures. there is pride and joy and one important part of transylvania is vibrant culture and many here are

doing all they can to preserve that culture. the in good shape. a hi. it's rule out. no energy to do anything. what could be the cause of task? sometimes the problem is more serious than you think. what else and full things can help to get you back into the group again? in good shape. in 30 minutes, on the w. p go india. instant forecast updates to your mobile devices. whether experts like john or turning social media into most popular
