Look up from your phone and just glance around. In the daily hustle of life, we often forget to appreciate the beauty of nature. I mean mother earth is filled with majestic natural phenomena that are nothing short of magical. From breathtaking views to blistering sights, there are so many natural wonders that are yet to be explored.
Recently, in a scene straight out of a beautiful fantasy, a video shot at the Yosemite National Park, California featured a “Firefall”, reports the Indian Express. The clip shared by Twitter user @CaliaDomenico showcases a waterfall that has a fiery glow and looks like flowing lava.
Have a look at the mesmerizing video:
“Firefall” at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California, looks like a scene from a fantasy movie. But, it is an ordinary waterfall, which is illuminated by the sunset, that gives it a fiery glow. pic.twitter.com/kP2aFmM6Cg

Beautiful. God surprises us with beauty everyday to remind us that if we look for beauty in everything we see we can cleanse our minds of all the awful tragedies of the past. I need to get out there and go hiking more often while I still can.

We need to appreciate these things while they are still here…

I don’t need special effects, or make up, or anything else unnatural to find beauty. All I need is to open my eyes & look beyond the modern concrete, bricks & artificial lights at what nature created forever ago.
Simply stunning.

Many people shared their fond memories from the “Firefall” at the Yosemite National Park:
When I was a kid, they would build a big fire at the top at night and bulldoze the glowing coals over the cliff to make a real firefall. Pretty sure that isn't allowed any more

I'm old enough to remember that the original Yosemite Fire Fall happened each summer night, when actual fire from burning bark was pushed off the cliff for a very popular park spectacle. We kids were always thrilled to watch. The last one was 1968.

I remember walking up this fall to just below it ! It was so beautiful but so high I had a massive nose bleed from the altitude! I looked like I had been mugged! We had a nice swim in the lake fully clothed to stop the bleeding ! 😘

when I was a child, we vacationed at Yosemite every year and this spectacle was nightly. It was a real fire and prior to it beginning, someone would yell "let the fire fall" and down it would come.
