17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Firefall

Firefall!! The 4 year wait is over! Yosemite is undeniably picturesque and portrays grandeur. But this mesmerizing waterfall that looks like lava makes it phenomenal. Every year for few days in February the sun’s alignment lights up the Horsetail Falls in a unique way. Drove for hours, hiked few miles through snow and ice and struggled to find the right spot among hundreds of enthusiasts just to witness this spectacle for 10 minutes. It was all worth it
