A spectacular "firefall" wowed nature-watchers in California's Yosemite National Park on Wednesday, with the setting sun lighting up a waterfall like a ribbon of fire.
For a couple of weeks every year, the last rays of daylight hit Horsetail Falls, appearing to set the water alight like a river of lava gushing down a mountainside.
The phenomenon, which lasts just a few minutes at sundown and which draws tourists from across the country, relies on a rare combination of perfect conditions.
