This past weekend I was in #‎Yosemite Valley‬ in hopes of catching the great ‪"‎Firefall" ‬ phenomenon that occurs only about 10 days a year when the setting sun illuminates Horsetail Falls for a few minutes, giving the impression of lava flowing down the side of El Capitan.

Conditions did not come together on Friday, but Saturday night was truly special. I saw what I believe was "Firefall Actual" smile emoticon the orange glow on the Falls was truly stunning to see in person. Also stunning was how crowded it was. 1000s of photographers packed along the coast, many who camped out from 8am in the morning. Luckily i had my waders with me on this trip so I simply stepped a bit into the Merced River for this view!
