A waterfall with a light coming out of it

Firefall: at just the right time of the year (late February), the setting sun will catch the cliff face of El Capitan in a way that backlights horsetail falls, creating Firefall. This image was captured from the valley floor, on February 25th, 2025.

This hidden waterfall can be found in the remote Western Bays of Lake Taupo in NZ, accessible only by boat. The steep cliffs on the edge of the lake (a former volcanic crater) create the perfect conditions for this beautiful waterfall, framed on either side with native flora clinging on to the rock face. This bay is also great for fishing, with the waterfall offering a handy landmark for navigating to a prime spot!
