.In this particular June 26, 2023, image derived from the International Spaceport station, direct sunlight polishes off the hassle-free waters of the Alabama Stream in a sensation called sunglint. When photographing Planet, astronauts usually make the most of sunglint's possibility to boost the comparison between water surfaces and also surrounding property surfaces.In the 1960s, the Alabama Stream was hindered, generating Dannelly Reservoir (the sizable polishing location at facility left). Construction of the dam also increased water levels upriver. This caused flooding at many factors along the waterway. These flooded zones are actually regular of flood plains-- the low, standard locations immediately close to much larger streams. In this picture, disaster area look like rough, intense designs extending off of the stream, like at Gee's Bend (center base).Text Debt: Justin Wilkinson.Photo Credit Report: NASA/Woody Hoburg.
