The Firefall in Yosemite National Park

Yosemite's Firefall occurs once a year during mid-to-late February at Horsetail Fall on El Capitan. The setting sun illuminates the waterfall casting a fiery glow that looks like glowing lava. I've never been there in winter to witness the event firsthand, but I believe Microsoft Bing has created a close approximation.

 

Horsetail Fall only flows during the winter and is easy to miss, but then, once a year, it takes center stage as one of Yosemite's main attractions.
