Edited ESA stellar density map showing, mainly, the Milky Way Galaxy.
Original caption: Stellar density map
The outline of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, and of its neighbouring Magellanic Clouds, in an image based on housekeeping data from ESA’s Gaia satellite, indicating the total number of stars detected every second in each of the satellite's fields of view.
Brighter regions indicate higher concentrations of stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer stars are observed.
The plane of the Milky Way, where most of the Galaxy’s stars reside, is evidently the brightest portion of this image, running horizontally and especially bright at the centre. Darker regions across this broad strip of stars, known as the Galactic Plane, correspond to dense, interstellar clouds of gas and dust that absorb starlight along the line of sight.
The Galactic Plane is the projection on the sky of the Galactic disc, a flattened structure with a diameter of about 100 000 light-years and a vertical height of only 1000 light-years.
Beyond the plane, only a few objects are visible, most notably the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, which stand out in the lower right part of the image. A few globular clusters – large assemblies up to millions of stars held together by their mutual gravity – are also sprinkled around the Galactic Plane.

A closer look at the Sunbeam Bread bakery. I figure it's not long for this world, given real estate prices in the area. Unlike the Ed Sacks place and the old rice silos, this will be worth mourning when it closes. The little retail store right next to the bakery has the best prices for a loaf of bread (and other baked goods) in town.
Kittilä is a municipality in Finland , located in the western part of the province of Lapland . 6,814 people live in the municipality and its area is 8,263.15 km 2 , of which 167.87 km 2 are water bodies. The population density is 0.84 inhabitants/km 2 .
Kittilä's neighboring municipalities are Enontekiö , Inari , Kolari , Muonio , Rovaniemi and Sodankylä , and there are 2,471 leisure apartments . Levi ski center is located in Kittilä, Sirka village. The municipality has Kittilä airport , which serves tourism and the air force . In 2019, 363,161 passengers passed through the airport. Kittilä's educational institutions are a high school and a tourism education institution, Lapland Vocational College and its Levi Institute. The largest sports clubs in the municipality include the ice hockey and soccer club Kittilä Palloseura , or KiPS, and the floor bandy club SBC Levi .
The municipality of Kittilä has long been a municipality that benefits from immigration and has a balanced economy. The winter tourist seasons to the Levi ski center have significantly enriched the municipality.
Kittilä's Suurikuusikko is home to Europe's largest gold mine and concentrator owned by the Canadian mining company Agnico Eagle Mines . The size of the ore is estimated to be around 56 million tons. The gold content varies between 2.5 and 4.7 g/ton. According to the current estimate, there is enough mining in the mine until 2035. The source of the Pahtavuoma copper mine was also located in Kittilä
History
The earliest inhabitants in the Kittilä area are known from the border period between the Bronze and Stone Ages , 3,500–3,000 years ago. The objects found point to a settlement that came from the south and a Finno-Ugric culture, but some skeletons found in the Lapland region give reason to assume that they were not Sami .
In the old days, the most common and easiest way to travel in the summer was by water. In winter, reindeer have also been ridden in Lapland, and the most characteristic vehicle of the Lapps has been the ahkio , or sled. Sledges and sleds have also been used. Winter roads were marked with picks and twigs, sticks. The maintenance of winter roads was also part of leveling bumps and potholes. The first settler of Sirka village came from Viena along the Tširkkakemijoki . However, the name of the village of Sirka comes from Lake Sirkka, which is a common name of a body of water in Itä-Hämee and means water accumulation.
Travelers had visited Lapland from time to time even in old times, even in the 18th century. Excursions to Kittilää and Pallas already took place in the 19th century. In the village of Sirka, in the 1860s, there was a kievari in Juho Sirka's house. Later, the kievari was in Pihkala and Kuusiko. In 1866, kievaris were established in Rauhala and Rovase (Pöntsö). Pöntsö's kievari was very famous and popular. A road line was opened between Kittilä and Rovaniemi in 1858. In 1889, the gravel road was completed and on September 24th, the "Krounu tien syyni" was held, when the road was handed over to the municipality.
In the yearbook no. 1 of the Finnish Tourist Association from 1895, it was written about Kittilä: "And if you don't want to penetrate deeper into the heartlands, the area of ​​the Kittilä church village already offers its members a picture of Lapland. Near the village is the great Levitunturi, from the top of which you can see wide landscapes."
The car came to Kittilä for the first time in 1908. When the mail car started operating in Kittilä once a week in 1923, bus service began in Kittilä.
Pallastunturi, located in the northwestern part of Kittilä, became a tourist destination when downhill skiing became more active in the 1930s. The Finnish Tourist Association (later the Finnish Tourist Association ) initially had a modest cabin on the shore of Lake Pallasjärvi, until in 1938 a funk-style tourist hotel built by the association was completed. The hotel was destroyed by the Germans during the Lapland war in October 1944, and in 1948 a new hotel representing the post-war building style was inaugurated. Trips to the hotel were pulled by reindeer from Muonio until 1956, when a road was built to the hotel. In the same year, the path from Pallas to Hetta in Enontekiö was signposted .
Kittilä's church , completed in 1831, is one of the few buildings in the village that survived the arson of the Germans in the Lapland war of 1944–1945.
In Kittilä there was a big spring flood in Ounasjoki in 2005. The water rose so high that the bridge crossing Ounasjoki east of Kittilä had to be closed. The flood caused great damage. The flood also surrounded many houses, so some of the residents of Kittilä Rantatie could not get out of their apartments for a few days without a boat. Today, Kittilä has small flood dikes in the most critical flooding places. A similar major flood was also experienced in 2012.
Nature
Kittilä's largest body of water is Ounasjoki, the largest tributary of Kemijoki , which flows from northwest to southeast , and divides the municipality into two roughly equal halves. The section of Ounasjoki in the Kittilä area is about 150 kilometers long and on average 100–200 meters wide. The most notable of the tributaries that join the river are Tepastojoki, Loukinen and Kuortanojok which flow from its east side. At the northeastern corner of Kittilä are the top streams of Kitinen, which flows into Kemijoki Sodankylä . There are only a few lakes in Kittilä, but plenty of salty ones. The largest lake, Kelontekemäjärvi , located near the village of Tepsa, flows down to Kitise on the Sodankylä side. The waters of Lake Jerisjärvi and Lake Ylläsjärvi, located in the northwest corner , flow to the Muonionjoki on the Muonio side .
Levi Ski Center is located in Kittilä , which is Finland's largest ski center in terms of market share and ticket sales. Other fells located in Kittilä are Aakenustunturi , Korsatunturi , Kumputunturi , Kätkätunturi and Pyhätunturi . Kumputunturi and its surroundings belong to the Natura area . More than half of the forests on the slopes and bottomlands of Kumputunturi are over 200-year-old pine.
Climate
In Kittilä's Poka, the coldest temperature in Finland was measured at −51.5 °C on January 28 , 1999 . [17] The heat record, on the other hand, is +32.9 °C, which was measured both in June 2006 and in July 1988.
The municipality's population decreased almost continuously for 30 years. In 1970, there were 7,272 inhabitants, which decreased to 5,797 by 2002. A turning point in development occurred in 2003, after which the trend has been upward. The current development is mainly due to tourism and mining that started in the 21st century ? . In 2022, 466 (own) employees worked at the mine.
The aging of the population has also stopped. By the beginning of the 2000s, the average age of Kittilä residents rose from 34.5 years in the early 1980s to over 40 years. In recent years, the average age has remained at the same readings and was 42.3 in 2011. The average age of the population in the whole country is 41.7 and in Lapland 42.7 years, i.e. the average age of the people of Kittilä is roughly in the middle of the values.
The following graph shows the population development of the municipality every five years since 1980. The regional division used is in accordance with the situation on January 1, 2017.

Tourém is a parish in the municipality of Montalegre, with 16.61 km ² and 151 inhabitants (2011). Density: 9.1 inhabitants / km ².
The village of Tourém is the only Portuguese settlement located north of the Serra do Geres, on the left bank of the river Salas, between the villages of Galicia and Requiás Guntumil (municipality MuÃños) and RandÃn (municipality of Calvos RandÃn). The ancient castle of the Portuguese territory of Piconha and get a little Couto Joint further east.
If the view definition with some tolerance, a part of the parish Tourém is, together with a portion of the county Mourao, one of two small exclaves of Portugal, since it is separated from the rest of the country by the reservoir of a dam Spanish (Encoro Salas), and is only accessible by a bridge.

Tourém é uma freguesia portuguesa do concelho de Montalegre, com 16,61 km² de área e 151 habitantes (2011). Densidade: 9,1 hab/km².
A aldeia de Tourém é a única povoação portuguesa situada a norte da serra do Gerês, na margem esquerda do rio Salas, entre as aldeias galegas de Requiás e Guntumil (concelho de MuÃños) e RandÃn (concelho de Calvos de RandÃn). O antigo castelo português da Piconha e o território do Couto Misto ficam um pouco mais a leste.
Se vista a definição com alguma tolerância, uma parte da freguesia de Tourém constitui, a par com uma parte do concelho de Mourão, um dos dois pequenos exclaves de Portugal, uma vez que se encontra separada do restante território pela albufeira de uma barragem espanhola (Encoro de Salas), e apenas é acessÃvel através de uma ponte.

I wanted to show the density of urban Vancouver, BC.
I got the shot from the Granville Street Bridge to give me the height to really get among the buildings. The setting sun helped me get the shot I was after, because it gave me both a lush, golden light and some great shadows, which both add depth to the shot.
