Yosemite like you’ve never seen it: “Lava flow”

All factors aligned last week to create a phenomenon where refracted light in frozen ice falls at Yosemite Valley made it appear that “lava” was pouring over the brink of the canyon. The effect only lasts for a minute or two. For comparison, one photo is of the “fire falls” of the 1960s. To enlarge, click on photo twice.
