Aerial view of Holland’s tulip fields

Damn it monitor is broke again.
Out of all the pictures this one would make sense to have HD.
Ah, a top view of an environmental disaster. Heavily polluted surface and groundwater and not a single bee in sight.
I'd be worried if you could see bees at that distance.
So this bad? It looks bad what do they do to kill off the bees?
Looks like the thing where you can choose what paint color you want on your wall (I forgot the word I'm not English native😅)
They're called paint swatches.
Have a great day 😀

You're welcome
A country that has to "reclaim" ecologically important marshes and seabed, should not be using such land for worthless crops that uses tons of fertlizers and pesticides but you can't even eat them. At least plant grains.
What is the problem with these tulips? They are way less energy intensive than imported and greenhouse flowers and the reclaimed soil needs very little fertilizer. Now they do use a lot of pesticides, but no more than any other flowers. Link in dutch
Besides, why go for grains. You need more fertilizer, more water, and they sell for basically nothing so even if you get 10 tons of wheat per acre you're wasting valuable ground that is perfect for tulips.
If you are a farmer on these polders you want to grow tulips, if you are the government you want the farmers to grow tulips, if you live nearby you want the farmers to grow tulips.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
