After a long late autumn hike, I camped at this alpine lake in the Sierra Nevada before summiting a craggy peak the next morning. As the sunk sank below the horizon, the wind died out and the light kept getting better, creating this magical mirror effect on the water.

This natural phenomenon occurs only during a short window of time in late winter in Yosemite National Park. On a clear evening, the last rays of the sun light up Horsetail Falls causing it to look as if it were made of fire.
