I wonder how many times I’ve wondered “is this *really* a waterfall?<\/span>
\nHow far does the water have to fall in relation to the width of the stream, how much water in relation to the volume of water, and does it matter if the falls will disappear when the flow increases dramatically?<\/span>
\nBut I keep coming back to my simple definition of waterfall? “Does the waterfall? Did I enjoy visiting the falls and taking the photo?” And that’s good enough for me.<\/span><\/p>\n
