I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for Google Maps getting all
clone-happy in this part of Holland. It's probably just a secret alien landing site
or something.
Google maps and the stamp tool

11/35Peppered Moth
This species had long been known to have two "varieties", one was light the otherdark. Before the 1800's many of the trees in the area had light colored trunks,either from light colored bark or from lichens. During this same time, the largerpopulation of Peppered Moths were light. There were dark moths in thepopulation, but they were a distinct minority. By the mid 1800's, the industrialrevolution was starting to impact the environment and pollution had caused adarkening of the tree trunks. It was noted that the population of dark versus lightmoths had reversed; now dark moths were the dominant color.

Using scanned images or images found online create a merger or hoax that
deals with either commercial, cultural, political, or scientific issues. Consider
the realism and believability of how to select and combine the images.-consider the size of the original image (should be large enough)-remember this is more than just a juxtaposition (2 opposite images)

Using entirely your own digital images create a merger or hoax that deals
with either commercial, cultural, political, or scientific issues. Consider the
lighting, environment and posing of the images. Also, shoot more than you
think you need, it is digital so there is no film limit, better safe than sorry.
