Photos show Yosemite firefall, water looks like fire

"Every year for two weeks in February, the sun sets at a certain angle and illuminates the waterfall in luminescent orange and red, making it look like a fluid fire," photographer Sangeeta Dey wrote on Facebook. "I've met photographers who said that they have been coming for 11 years only to see this happen 2 or 3 times."

Dey said she arrived at the national park at 2 p.m. one day last week to find a spot, ultimately settling under a bush. 

Other photographers have captured the "firefall" and posted breathtaking photos on social media.
