"Just an orange filter." - This is what I thought before I saw it with my own eyes. Firefall phenomenon gives waterfall lava-like appearance at Yosemite National Park. Firefall happens in the winter, when Horsetail Fall is flowing and the sunset hits the waterfall just right. The phenomenon doesn't last long each year. Just for a few weeks, typically in February. I was lucky to see this rare wonder of this planet.
