About The Waterfall
A waterfall is water in its most theatrical mood, gathering speed at the crest, launching itself over a ledge, and shattering into mist and spray against the rocks below. The pool at the base, worn smooth over centuries, is one of nature's quietest places: cool air, the roar softened to a hush, and moss clinging to every damp surface. Ferns uncurl in the perpetual mist, and the whole gorge smells of stone and cold, clear water.
