The rare phenomenon happens when light hits a waterfall tumbling down El Capitan. The intensity of the brief annual display in February depends on the volume of water and the cloud cover.

Thanks for that - really quite stunning.

Presumably the same thing can happen elsewhere, if you get your location and timing right. I might try to seek it out.

The fire fall used to be an actual fire fall. As a tourist show a huge fire was lit on top of one of Yosemite's cliffs. As dusk fell they then raked the burning embers off the cliff to form a water fall of fire.
