This is an article "Published by DL Cade (https://iso.500px.com/author/dl/)" talking about Darvin Atkeson (https://500px.com/Darvin), who captured the stunning photograph below in February of 2014: "Every February, a waterfall named “horsetail falls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsetail_Fall_(Yosemite))” begins to run off the top of the famous El Capitan rock formation (https://iso.500px.com/27-jawdropping-photos-of-el-capitan-to-put-tommy-caldwell-and-kevin-jorgesons-record-setting-free-climb-in-perspective/) in Yosemite National Park. Then, if the conditions are right at sunset, nature pulls of an incredible trick… as if by magic, the thin falls seem to catch fire."
