Horsetail Fall is a seasonal waterfall that flows down the east face of El Capitan (a vast rock formation in California’s Yosemite National Park) in winter and early spring. It's a sight to behold in and of itself, but during a 10-minute window over a few days in mid-to-late February it becomes even more special. The setting sun tilts at just the right angle and casts a glowing light that transforms the spectacle into a 'firefall', so named for its likeness to free-flowing lava.

For just one night each year cereus, the collective name for a group of flower-producing cacti, open up to reveal their pretty white blossoms. Usually taking place in either May or June, this fleeting spectacle is best seen at Arizona’s botanical garden of Tohono Chul. Here more than 300 of these night-blooming plants are monitored around the clock in the hope that this phenomena is captured as it unfolds.
