Yosemite Nature Notes - Episode 14 - Horsetail Fall

Horsetail Fall is a small, ephemeral waterfall that flows over the eastern edge of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. For two weeks in February, the setting sun striking the waterfall creates a deep orange glow that resembles Yosemite's historic "Firefall."

@BellaMare Yes, I think this is as close to Heaven as we mortals can experience.  At least some of us are capable of understanding what Yosemite really is. My daughter is a Natural Science teacher and has guided a few groups through the park. For my first visit, my son in law and I had her as our guide. As the woman in the video says: everywhere you look, you see something beautiful and awe inspiring.

@DavidSLynch - answering my own question: I found out that the piano piece is by Emmett Cooke and is titled "Constant Motion". A non-commercial album of Cooke's work can be purchased at sonicoctave-dot-com

@Dunkleosteus3691 I'm not anti rights, I am anti second amendment, or just anti firearms for the public. By the way I get what you mean about the metaphor.

Yosemite seems to be an open wound,

revealing itself in an obvious manner making complete the totality of nature evident to the casual or impassioned observer alike. A special place that holds a cosmic event in a park full of rare environments and geology not seen anywhere else!

[Dunkleosteus3691]

@PhotoShopChannel : again, what's that to you? As others here say: you're a troll and an illiterate too. Anyone can write: "That's as close to heaven as we mortals are likely to get' and EVERYONE BUT YOU understands that's just a metaphor complimenting a natural wonder like Yosemite. And just about everyone knows: "self deference" used to mean "self defense" is the mark of a moron (and an anti-gun, anti-rights nut job).

@PhotoShopChannel Do you read what you type before you post it, or like a jackass get a thrill off trolling so you don't bother to proofread and just want to post right away as if what you have to say is important?

[PhotoShopChannel]

@Dunkleosteus3691 Oh I was just going to pick up on how your prays are so un-effective that you need a weapon of self deference, its the irony really. "What made you jump in with off-topic generality bull shit?" Umm, your the one who bought "heaven" into an OPEN forum, learn then internet mat its OPEN, if you dont want anyone to butt in the you should not have the conversation infront on the world.

[Dunkleosteus3691]

@kakapipipupuchupa : not sure what you mean: the original firefall was a show put on for a time. I heard that the park officials decided it was creating a mess (burnt wood and blackened, scarred rocks) and not in the spirit of a natural wonder like Yosemite is meant to be. The last firefall took place Thursday, January 25, 1968.

@PhotoShopChannel : You are butting in: replying to me about something I did NOT address to you. What made you jump in with off-topic generality bull s**t? Why do you own a mouth... or a computer? FYI: the topic is Yosemite National Park. Peddle you BS somewhere else.
