.In this June 26, 2023, photograph drawn from the International Space Station, sun light shines off the hassle-free waters of the Alabama Waterway in a sensation called sunglint. When capturing on film Planet, astronauts often benefit from sunglint's tendency to improve the comparison in between water surface areas and also regarding property surface areas.In the 1960s, the Alabama Stream was clogged, generating Dannelly Reservoir (the sizable polishing location at facility left). Development of the dam also raised water table upriver. This led to flooding at many factors along the stream. These disaster area are typical of flood plains-- the poor, level places immediately close to larger streams. In this image, disaster area seem like off-balance, intense forms expanding off of the waterway, like at Gee's Bend (center base).Text Credit: Justin Wilkinson.Image Credit Rating: NASA/Woody Hoburg.
