Firefall

For a few weeks around Valentine's Day, Horsetail Falls in Yosemite National Park turns itself into a natural firefall as a result of the setting sun reflecting off the waterfall off El Capitan. Made famous by Galen Rowell in 1973 (Natural Firefall photograph), innumerable photographers try to capture the firefall year after year. This winter, Yosemite saw relatively little snow and as a result the firefall looks less spectacular than other years. Nevertheless, here is a shot close to the end of this year's term when the spectacle is visible.
