Because Nature!

I have two #ThingsILike today, because I couldn’t choose between them. All I can say is wow!

‘When People Can See Time’: Photographer Captures Day, Night In One Image

This is the only time of the year if the conditions are just right for the sunset to create this amazing waterfall of fire in Yosemite. We challenge you to go chase this waterfall. ••••• Thank you to Jeff @jeffreyplui for the wonderful moment. ・・・ "I Lava You" – Horsetail Fall, Yosemite National Park, CA. Each year during the second half of February, if there's enough snowpack atop El Capitan, if the temperature's warm enough to produce enough snowmelt, if the western skies are clear, and if the setting sun hits the water and spray at just the right angle, the natural phenomenon of Firefall occurs. We arrived at the park late in the afternoon this past Saturday and found a parking spot along Southside Dr. halfway between Cathedral and Sentinel beaches just as the orange glow was beginning. The place was absolutely packed for this rare show, but I found a tiny opening and wedged myself between a photographer and a tourist. Squatting on wet, slippery ice with the photographer's backside a few inches from my grill, I managed to get this shot of Firefall at its peak glow. ______________________________ Nikon D7100, Nikon 28-300. 125mm, f/14, 1/5 sec, ISO 100.
