This picture was taken at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park. Apparently this happens every year but it's hard to catch a picture at just the right moment. Photographer Sangeeta Dey explained this on a post about her own picture on Facebook:

Every year for two weeks in February, the sun sets at a certain angle and illuminates the waterfall in luminescent orange and red, making it look like a fluid fire. I’ve met photographers who said that they have been coming for 11 years only to see this happen 2 or 3 times.

Suren Manveluan took a series of photographs of close-up animal eyes from all over the animal kingdom. The pictures are hypnotizing and other-worldly, in a strange sort of way. Check for more on his personal web page in the via link, and in the gallery below!
