At first glance, it looks like a giant child armed with a box of crayons has been set loose upon the landscape. Vivid stripes of purple, yellow, red, pink, orange and green make up a glorious Technicolor patchwork. Yet far from being a child's sketchbook, this is, in fact, the northern Netherlands in the middle of the tulip season. With more than 10,000 hectares devoted to the cultivation of these delicate flowers, the Dutch landscape in May is a kaleidoscope of giddy colours as the tulips burst into life. The bulbs were planted in late October and early November, and these colourful creations are now ready to be picked and sold as bunches of cut flowers in florists and supermarkets. More than three billion tulips are grown each year and two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany .

One man attributes the construction of Stonehenge to Merlin. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, the rocks of Stonehenge were healing rocks called the Giant's Dance. The king sent Merlin, Uther Pendragon (Arthur's father) and 15,000 knights to remove it from Irleand where Giants had brought them from Africa. Failing to move the rocks with rope, Merlin used special gear and skill to dismantle the stones and sent them to Britain.
