Spring has arrived in north-central Europe, with bright green vegetation beginning to move through winter's darker green vegetation. The spring green is especially prominent in Germany and Poland, and is slowly moving into Belarus and the more northern and central European countries. Scattered throughout the image are bright red dots marking locations where MODIS detected fires. A couple of the fires also show visible smoke-plumes; these are best viewed in the higher-resolution images.
