p.1 #1FireFall the Golden Liquid
I was so lucky to experience this natural phenomenon created by God once a year at Yosemite National Park. You have to be there in February if you want to have a chance to see it. I was fortunate enough to experience this beauty. I arrived the day before, but the weather did not cooperate. However, we made the commitment to stay in the tent in the park until the next day. I knew I would have to walk a couple of miles to get there because parking isn’t allowed near the place where you can see the waterfalls. I arrived five hours early and stayed there until the golden colors painted the waterfall. I’m so glad I captured this photo , an able to freeze it and capture it for many years to come. It was an unbelievably different experience

Beautiful image. I know and understand all the work it took you to get this. One correction - Yosemite is not an International park. It is a US National Park.

epphoto - A lovely image, indeed!
I began to photograph the Horsetail Fall "Firefall" in 2006. Ahhh... those halcyon days!
That year I started at the Picnic Area for two nights and then moved across the river for the wider view.
There were only 3 other photographers at the Picnic Area and only 1 across the river with me!
For the next several years the crowd grew, but only slightly. Usually no more than a dozen or so "supplicants" at the altar.
Now one can't even legally park across the river on Southside Drive for the event following the crush of photographers who collapsed part of the bank several years ago!
I don't (and will not) go any longer given the crowds and restrictions on parking and movement - like waiting in line on an E-ticket ride at Disneyland when school's out.
Very happy that you were able to experience it and get a beautiful capture of that wonderful phenomenon!
P.S. - This photo from the NPS web site shows typical crowd size and the section of river bank that collapsed from their weight in 2017.
Crowded site and Collapsed Bank
