Tromsø lies about 350 km north of the Arctic Circle in northern Norway and is often described as a gateway to the North Pole. Each winter, the city enters a period of Polar Night, during which the sun remains below the horizon and the city receives only faint daylight for a short period around midday. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 20 February 2026, is among the first images of the year acquired after the polar night, showing Tromsø and the surrounding area covered in snow. The joint use of Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites enables the regular monitoring of Arctic conditions. These data support researchers and decision-makers to better understand the impacts of climate change on these important areas and inform strategies to protect the Arctic environment.
❄️ Tromsø 🇳🇴, around 350 km north of the Arctic Circle, emerges from the polar night.

Beginning a new piece — this one started from my own design 🪡

It might still be Winter, but the Spring thaw is well underway. Snow has been melting revealing what was once covered underneath. ~Gretchen

I loved the patterns and shapes and in the way this fallen log has weathered away over time. The texture reminds me of those giant wooden Troll sculptures that I see on the internet. ~ Gretchen

“M”. The wreath includes layered green leaves in multiple shades, small orange berry clusters, pale blue outlined flowers still to be filled, and newly added pink flower details. The fabric is light coloured and the hoop rests against soft fabric in the background.
Onto the flowers 🌸

The 'Lost #galaxy' is nicknamed that for its faint and elusive appearance to #stargazers. But in this recent #hubble #space #telescope image, it comes into full focus, glowing with a special type of star formation.

Blanco tequilas can be served chilled. In fact, we prefer it as it brings out more of the sweet roasted agave flavors.
Try it. Experience it yourself. Thank us later.
