S43-152-BT - Tres Marias Reservoir, Brazil

Tres Marias Reservoir, 60 miles long, occupies the Rio Sao Fran-
cisco valley in Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Most of the
tributaries to the reservoir are highlighted by sunglint in this
photograph. Sunglint patterns on the reservoir water surface re-
flect differences in wind-driven surface roughness. Linhof cam-
era, 250mm lens




The Tres Marias Reservoir on the Rio Sao Francisco in the State of Minas Gerais, (19.0S, 45.0W) occupies about sixty miles of the Rio Sao Francisco in southeastern Brazil. Most of the tributaries of the reservoir are highlighted by sunglint in this photo. Sunglint patterns on the reservoir surface reflect differences in the wind driven surface roughness on this large waterbody.
