An amazing phenomenon. In the western United States, impressive images of an inverted waterfall were captured by American photographer RJ Hooper and shared on his Facebook page in mid-January, making the rounds on social media.
Here, the waters of the Kayenta Falls, located in Ivins, Utah, flow from the bottom up and seem to defy the laws of gravity. Splendid images, with a rocky ocher landscape in the background, typical of the Great American West.
A wind of almost 100 km/h
“Seriously, it was the most amazing day (I’ve ever had) in unique conditions! (…) I only remember having seen the waters of Kayenta run backwards a few times in the last twenty years”, says the photographer in the comments.
To immortalize these images, the American used a drone. Filming in difficult conditions, RJ Hooper specifies, while the wind was blowing at almost 100 km/h.
This surprising phenomenon is not unique, however, and can be explained by the presence of violent winds. It can be observed in particular in the Peak District National Park in England or in various locations in India, Japan or Australia.
