Located in: Valensole, Est. France. Price per pound of dried lavender: $90
The lavender fields of Valensole, France, are at their most breathtaking between June and July. These fields, vast expanses of purple, appear to be the predominant feature of the Provence region. The second week of July is when the fields are harvested.

He was flying through space, disconnected from the main vehicle, with just his pack to guide him. He was the first astronaut to spacewalk without lifelines connecting him to the $2 billion Challenger spacecraft; therefore, this accomplishment created history.
3. Human vs. Giant Pacific Octopus
Found in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Price: not specified
While diving into the sea, this diver had a really unusual guest that looked like an alien. This eerie image was created by a giant Pacific octopus that approached the human diver from behind to investigate. It was probably interested in what the diver was up to.

A mature giant Pacific octopus can weigh up to 160 pounds. In addition, they have extraordinary strength and intelligence, and they can solve puzzles, open jars, and communicate with people. Rest assured that humans are not on the menu for this enormous creature—the giant Pacific Octopus prefers to eat clams and crabs.
