May Week was in Google

Take a look at google maps in Cambridge, and you'll notice that the Midsummer Fair is being set up.

The photo was taken in the morning (I'm guessing 9 or 10ish) as only the lazy carnies seem to be absent, though town isn't exactly busy yet.

I thought that was reasonably interesting in itself, but then as I panned around to take a look at some of the colleges, I noticed that things weren't quite right. St. John's college had red grass. Trinity had grown a field-hospital on the backs. In short, it wasn't World-War II in colour, but rather May week was in full flow. Even miniscule Trinity Hall had the whole front court covered in canvas (I imagine more canvases were to be erected soon or that would have been one let-down of a ball).
