TLC SANG ABOUT how you shouldn’t go chasing waterfalls and should instead stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to. I respectfully disagree. Waterfalls are one of my favourite natural sights, up there with rainbows, sunsets, and seagulls stealing chips from people’s hands.
Every time I see a waterfall I can’t help but wonder whether I’d survive going down it in a barrel. This is not just one of those intrusive thoughts like “I wonder what that crunchy leaf tastes like,” or “Let’s pick up that pigeon”. It’s based on something I read years ago.
