Sunnyvale photographer shoots a rare moment at Yosemite - San Jose Mercury News: "Amateur photographer John Harrison's 'Nature's Firefall,' which won the Aperture Nature Photography Workshop contest in December, is an extreme rarity.
In the image, Horsetail Falls cascades down the face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Splashed with the sunset, the falls glow as if on fire against the cliffs of jagged granite.
That particular effect can happen only for a few weeks during the winter when the sun is at the right angle, when there are no clouds and during the few months when there's enough snowmelt to produce the falls. In short, you won't see it during your next summertime visit."
