Yosemite Firefall – Horsetail Fall Lava Glow Sunset Fine Art Photography

Once a year, for only a few evenings, the setting sun aligns perfectly with Horsetail Fall — transforming a simple ribbon of water into a molten cascade of light. This phenomenon, known as the Yosemite Firefall, is one of nature’s most elusive and breathtaking displays.

In this fine art photograph, the granite walls of El Capitan glow with deep oranges and molten reds as the waterfall blazes like liquid lava. The surrounding cliffs remain cool and shadowed, amplifying the contrast and drama of the glowing cascade. The glow lasts only minutes, and capturing it requires perfect timing, precise conditions, and unwavering patience — making images like this exceptionally rare.

A true collector’s piece, this print brings the intensity and magic of Yosemite’s most sought-after natural event into your space. Ideal for those who appreciate dramatic landscapes, masterful light, and limited-edition fine art that captures fleeting wonders of the natural world.

I use Dye Sublimation on high-quality ChromaLuxe aluminum panels. The ChromaLuxe aluminum is the highest quality aluminum panel made specifically for dye sublimation. What makes a ChromaLuxe panel superior to everything else is its high quality coating that absorbs the ink and results in a HD print that can't be matched by any other printing medium.
