Spectacular: what a fiery waterfall looks like in California

Just a few days a year, a rare natural phenomenon occurs in Yosemite National Park - an amazing “fire” waterfall, which is actually a spectacular visual illusion. The sun's rays fall on the stream of water at right angles, which creates the visual impression that boiling lava is flowing along the rock.

Typically, the fire falls are visible for about two weeks a year - usually in February. In 2020, the season began on February 12 and is expected to end on February 28. At this time, in order to observe the fantastically beautiful natural illusion, hundreds of tourists come to Yosemite Park, and professional photographers organize special photo sessions.

Exactly how the waterfall will look in any given year depends on how much water flows from the rock - so the spectacle is never identical to last year.

The waterfall is located on the eastern side of one of Yosemite's tallest rock monoliths, Mount El Capitan. The water flows down the mountainside in two 1500-foot (460-meter) streams.

When the reflections of the setting sun fall directly onto the water cascading down the slope and illuminate it with a fiery red glow, it really looks like a waterfall of fire - an amazing sight!

Catching this effect can be difficult: the perfect picture is only available in the evenings, between 17:30 p.m. and 18:00 p.m. when there is no fog and clouds in the sky, and the sun should set at a right angle.

Each time the spectacle lasts only about 10 minutes - you need to have time to set up the camera and choose the optimal location for shooting. True, this year many visitors complained that the flow of water from the rock was not powerful enough - nevertheless, the view is still good.
