Photographer Captures Rare Rainbow Waterfall Phenomenon in Yosemite

Photographer Greg Harlow captured one of the most beautiful rare natural events, the rainbow waterfall phenomenon in Yosemite National Park. This phenomenon happens only at certain times of the year and under certain circumstances. Harlow said that the rainbow lasted over eight minutes. It certainly was not a planned event – the photographer had “spent over three months total in Yosemite last year and just got lucky.”
