Rapeseed blooms in a field close to the ancient monument of Stonehenge near Amesbury, England. The vibrant yellow blossom of rapeseed, or oilseed rape (Brassica napus), has become a familiar sight in rural areas of the United Kingdom and is now one of the most popular crops for farmers because of its versatility and ease of growing. Rapeseed oil, used in many products, can be chemically altered to also produce bio-diesel and according to the U.K. National Farmers Union, rapeseed bio-fuel could meet a significant part of the country's fuel needs if given further government backing and investment.

A Buddhist nun walks in line with novice Thai nuns at the Sathira Dammasathan Buddhist meditation center in Bangkok. A small but growing group of Thai girls are choosing to spend part of the school holiday as Buddhist nuns, down to having their heads shaven. This year, to celebrate 2,600 years since the Buddha gained enlightenment, the Sathira Dammasathan center arranged for the ordination of 137 women between ages 5 and 63. The ordination involved shaving their hair off and living as a Buddhist nun for 20 days, including going on rounds to collect alms from worshipers at dawn, wearing simple white cotton clothes, and attending daily meditation classes.

A soldier plays a Scottish pipe during a ceremony celebrating the 97th anniversary of Anzac Day in Canakkale, Australia. A dawn ceremony on April 25 will mark the time of the first landings of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) at the Gallipoli peninsula in the ill-fated World War I Allied campaign to take the Dardanelles Strait from the Ottoman Empire. In the ensuing eight months of fighting, about 11,500 Anzac troops were killed, fighting alongside British, Indian and French soldiers. Every April, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders, many of them young backpackers, make the pilgrimage to the historic peninsula to commemorate the gruelling battle that was their first real test of World War I.
