This show is very rare and occurs in the Yosemite National Park, California, USA
The difficulty to get pictures of this phenomenon is very difficult due to several factors that must be met.
The park was declared a national park in 1890. It has an area of 1200 sq. km and the fall of fire is called El Capitan and is an unusual spectacle.
This show of the fall is created by the reflection of sunlight that meets the waterfall at a specific angle. This rare spectacle can be seen over a period of 2 weeks in late February. To photograph everything, photographers must endure years of patience in order to capture this phenomenon. The reason is that apparently it depends on some natural phenomena that must be obtained not at the same time.
1 - is the formation of the waterfall - the water formed by melting snow and ice on top of the mountain. These two things melt in the months of December and January And when the end of February, it may no longer be enough snow to melt.
2 ° - the specific angle of sunlight hitting the Waterfall - The position of the sun must be exactly at a particular point in the sky. This occurs only in February and in the short hours of twilight (at dusk). If it is a day when the sky is filled with clouds that hide the sun you can see the phenomenon. It also coincides with the fact that the temperature in the National Park at this time of year is often unpredictable. So it adds to the difficulty in obtaining the following photos.
Someone has succeeded and now we can all see them.
