Fiery Falls

I’ve never been to Yosemite, but it is on my bucket list.  After seeing the picture below, I may have to make the trip in February.

Horsetail Fall in (1)

If you view Horsetail Falls in Yosemite National Park from a position along the Merced River in Yosemite Valley just before sunset, it glows like the water is on fire.

This phenomenon  only occurs for a few minutes, and for only few days in February each year when several weather and climatic conditions are just right.

At any other time, the falls look like this:
