<div><p>Just when we thought we knew enough about nature and it's laws, something extraordinary happens and we go right back to being amazed. One of these remarkable occurrences takes place at Yosemite National Park in California every year. </p><p>Every February, Horsetail Fall in Yosemite Park experiences a rare phenomenon that draws crowds from all over for a few days. When the setting sun's rays hits the waterfall at the right angle, it creates an optical illusion that lasts about 10 minutes and resembles molten lava.</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>One Photographer, Ray, captured the "supernatural" phenomenon in a series of pictures and it's almost impossible to differentiate the orange and red glow from liquid fire. </p><div><figure><a href="https://rayophotography13.smugmug.com/Yosemite-/i-fQBspL5/A" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315FA14400000578-0-image-a-34_1455900649781_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="https://rayophotography13.smugmug.com/Yosemite-/i-fQBspL5/A" target="_blank">Rayophotography13</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>According to <a href="http://yosemitefirefall.com/yosemite-firefall-horsetail-fall/">yosemitefirefall.com</a>, the firefall is not always guaranteed as it is largely dependent on weather conditions, "If there's not enough snowpack in February, there will not be enough snowmelt to feed the waterfall... If temperatures are too cold, the snow will stay frozen and Horsetail Fall won't flow." </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/315F499200000578-3454952-image-a-8_1455918033835-1.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>It is believed that the Awahneechee Indians most likely knew about the phenomenon but there were no documented proof of it's existence. The first known photo of the natural firefall dates back to 1973 and was taken by Galen Rowell. Since then the breathtaking effect has attracted countless photographers, like Ray, hoping to capture the incredible sight. </p><div><amp-instagram height="1" width="1" layout="responsive" data-captioned="" data-shortcode="BQwPXtMgGvp"></amp-instagram></div><p>Nature is truly amazing!
