Cascata 'se transforma' em fluxo de fogo na Califórnia (FOTOS, VÍDEO)

No Parque Nacional de Yosemite na Califórnia, EUA, foi observado um fenômeno muito especial que passou a se chamar de "cascata de fogo".

Os raios de Sol iluminam a cascata Horsetail Fall (Cauda de Cavalo) na formação rochosa de El Capitan de maneira tão especial que esta passar a ter aparência de uma corrente de lava, informa a CBS.

Firefall, which only occurs in the middle of February if very specific conditions are met, was out in full force today. I'd never witnessed it before, and it was absolutely worth the three-hour drive out (and three hours back), just to see it. (This update is a crosspost from my ongoing 365 project.

Segundo a edição, esse fenômeno pode ser visto apenas nas últimas duas semanas de fevereiro, já que depende de vários fatores, inclusive nebulosidade e temperatura do ar, tornando ainda mais especial a "cascata de fogo".

Some things in this world remind you of just how magical this existence can be…and the #FireFall phenomenon that happens at Horsetail falls in #Yosemite is definitely one of them. I'll post soon about the serendipitous manner than allowed me to be here for such a remarkable event. Ahh. A deep breath in…Hold…and…ouuuut. It's a great day to be an Earthling.

Firefall 2017- it's that time of year again for the famous #firefall #yosemitenps. This trip almost didn't happen due to the crazy road conditions at Yosemite. There has been so much water that a lot of the roads were closed due to mudslides. Somehow we made it here at the very last minute. I still think the mist I saw last year was better but it wasn't bad this time either. Please scroll down on my feed to see previous years firefall if you like. Had an awesome time with some fun and talented photographers @naminou @jc.liang @sinanuong. Was suppose to meet up with a couple more but got lost in the rush. For those that plan on going to see this, be careful since there has been so much water that some of the roads are falling apart. Had an awesome weekend!!! — A special thank you to my wife for letting me go on these crazy fun trips before I get too old to travel. — - #usaprimeshot #pixworld_ #igworldglobal #artsyheaven #heatercentral #ig_color #worldcaptures #ouramazingearth #earthofficial #beautifuldestinations #special_shots #Earthpix #wildernessculture #travelstoke #foxnews #abc7now #ktvu #gottolove_this #yesabc #westcoast_exposures #sunsetstream_westside #yosemitenation #globeshotz #Nationalparkgeek @nationalparkgeek #worldprime #yescnn @awesome.earth.pix #awesomeearthpix #yesweather
