Un champ de tulipes spectaculaire survolé par un drone en Angleterre

(2022-04-20_12-30-51)


Cette semaine, un magnifique champ de tulipes, comprenant 12 millions de bulbes, va ouvrir au public dans le comté de Norfolk, en Angleterre. Tous les fonds récoltés grâce au prix d’entrée seront reversés à une organisation caritative qui fournit des soins gratuits à des personnes en fin de vie.


"The clergy successfully preached the doctrines of patience and pusillanimity;
the active virtues of society were discouraged; and the last remains of a
military spirit were buried in the cloister: a large portion of public and
private wealth was consecrated to the specious demands of charity and devotion;
and the soldiers' pay was lavished on the useless multitudes of both sexes
who could only plead the merits of abstinence and chastity."
-- Edward Gibbons, _The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_
