Sunglint on the waters of Earth

Sunglint on the waters of Earth. Sunglint is caused by sunlight reflecting off of a water surface directly towards the observer. Variations in the roughness of the water surface scatter the light, blurring the reflection and producing the silvery sheen of a sunglint area. The point of maximum sunglint in this image is centered within Cape Cod Bay. Sunglint off the water provides sharp contrast with the coastline and the nearby islands of Marths Vineyard and Nantucket. Further to the west, the eastern half of Long Island, New York, emerges from extensive cloud cover over the mid-Atlantic and Midwestern States

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of sunglint on the waters of Earth. The image showcases sunlight reflecting off a water surface, creating a dazzling silvery sheen that extends across Cape Cod Bay. The variations in the water's roughness scatter the light, resulting in a blurred reflection and adding to the enchanting effect. The point of maximum sunglint is perfectly centered within Cape Cod Bay, providing sharp contrast with the nearby coastline and islands such as Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. As we shift our gaze westward, we witness Long Island emerging from beneath extensive cloud cover over the mid-Atlantic and Midwestern States. From this vantage point in space, where no people can be seen, we are granted an awe-inspiring view of our blue planet. The sunglint off the water's surface adds an ethereal touch to this breathtaking scene. It serves as a reminder of Earth's remarkable beauty and its ability to captivate us even from afar. This photograph by Stocktrek Images beautifully captures nature's playfulness with light and reflections while showcasing some iconic locations along America's northeastern coast.
