The World Wonder: Seasonal Firefall at Yosemite
By MOOK Travel Expert Jun(e), compiled and reported
A spectacular firefall phenomenon takes place in Yosemite National Park, California, USA, captivating audiences with its unbelievable visuals. Around mid to late February each year, for roughly 10 days, as the sun sets, the light shines perfectly on Horsetail Fall on El Capitan, illuminating the cascading water at just the right angle and transforming it into a blazing wall of fire that looks like molten lava flowing down the rockface. Few other waterfalls in the world have the exact lighting conditions needed for this effect, making it one of the most sought-after photography spots for enthusiasts every year. Below is an image of the firefall on February 15, 2017:
