Chaque année vers la fin du mois de février, un spectacle sublime se déroule dans le parc naturel de Yosemite, en Californie (États-Unis). On a l’impression que l’eau se transforme en lave.

Il s’agit en réalité d’un jeu de lumière. Ce phénomène appelé « Firefall » (« Cascade de feu ») n’apparaît que quelques minutes. Il est provoqué par le soleil couchant qui se projette sur la cascade Horsetail. De nombreux photographes publient leurs clichés sur les réseaux sociaux.

The Return of Firefall I had published photographs of this phenomenon last year. This year, I feel fortunate to have been one of the firsts to witness it. In fact, I just drove back home after seeing this unforgettable moment. This is the Horse tail waterfall in the Yosemite National Park. Every year for a few days in February, the sun sets at a certain angle and illuminates the waterfall in luminescent orange and red, making it look like a molten lava.

It’s that time of year again when visitors flock to #Yosemite #NationalPark to see the famous #HorsetailFall — the waterfall that looks like lava flowing down the side of El Capitan. This rare phenomenon only happens for a short time in February (if the conditions are perfect) when the setting sun’s rays hit the waterfall at just the right angle, illuminating the water in brilliant reds and oranges. It’s a spectacular sight reminiscent of @yosemitenps's historic #Firefall! Photo courtesy of Ray Lee (@rayophotography13). #findyourpark #usinterior
