  • Horsetail Fall, an ephemeral waterfall that plunges from the top of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California, is reddened by the setting sun. The waterfall, which flows only for a few weeks each year in late winter and early spring, drops a total of 2,130 feet (650 meters). Horsetail Fall is best known for its dramatic "fire fall" effect, which if the weather and water supply conditions are just right, occurs each year in late February when the setting sun directly lights up the waterfall.

  • The Guadalupe Mountains of western Texas tower over the Salt Basin, a remnant of an ancient lake that existed during the Pleistocene Epoch between 10,000 and 1.8 million years ago. The lake, which at times was up to 37 feet deep, had no outlet. As the water evaporated, salt and gypsum accumulated. The old lake bed is now dry most of the year, collecting only an inch or so of water during exceptionally heavy rains. The Guadalupe Mountains, part of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, are visible on the horizon. The iconic El Capitan (8085 feet/2464 meter) is visible at right. Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas at 8749 feet (2667 meters) is immediately left of it.
