Sunglint On The Waters Of Earth. Jigsaw Puzzle

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 Martha's 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.
