Yosemite waterfall turns to ‘flowing lava’
A window of time just opened in Yosemite National Park when nature photographers wait, as if for an eclipse, until the moment when the sun and earth align to create a fleeting phenomenon.
This marvel of celestial configuration happens in a flash at sunset in mid-February — if the winter weather cooperates.
On those days the setting sun illuminates one of the park’s lesser-known waterfalls so precisely that it resembles molten lava as it flows over the sheer granite face of the imposing El Capitan.
AWESOME!
instagram can do that better
Mordor!
Thanks for the name of the waterfall.
Firefall !
was the photo taken on Feb 11, ’13 -thanks
reminds me of the FireFall that the park used to have back in the 60s. I wonder how many people know about FireFall?
Interesting that they don’t name the fall and interesting that one of the photos is of the Firefall from Glaicer Point from many years sog
I wood like to be in the middle of the climb when that happens.
I hope my wood never looks like that.
that is the firefall, no doubt
