The waters of this Utah waterfall flow from the bottom up in strong gusts of wind, seemingly defying the laws of gravity. Surprising images, captured by a photographer using a drone.
A staggering phenomenon. In the western United States, the impressive images of an inverted waterfall were captured by American photographer RJ Hooper and shared in mid-January on his page Facebookdoing the rounds on social networks.
At this place, the waters of the Kayenta waterfall located at Ivins, in Utah, go from the bottom up, seeming to defy the laws of gravity. Splendid images, with an ocher-colored rock landscape in the background, typical of the Great American West.
A wind of almost 100 km/h
“Seriously, it was the most incredible day (I’ve had) in unique conditions! (…) I only remember seeing the waters of Kayenta flowing upside down a few times during of the last twenty years”, assures the photographer in the comments.
To immortalize these images, the American used a drone. Filming in difficult conditions, specifies RJ Hooper, while the wind was blowing at nearly 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 localities in India, Japan or Australia.
