      Sun glint off the Euphrates river centered on Ash Shamah, Iraq where specular reflections off the water give it a polished silver sheen. At the proper angles, this phenomena can be observed from space in any sufficiently large body of water. Photographing it in rivers is my favorite because of the stark contrast seen between the reflecting water and the surrounding dark land. For those interested, more photos from space can be found on my [twitter](https://x.com/astro_Pettit) and Instagram, astro_pettit

      If like me you were wondering „is that the dangerous one“ (Mosul Dam), no. The one that makes the lake in the pic is Haditha Dam.
