'I guess gravity is always on my side.'

The sound of rushing water reached me long before I saw it. There’s something oddly grounding about walking through a forest where the air is heavy with moisture and the sun filters through leaves like a secret being whispered. When Russell Falls finally came into view, it felt less like a discovery and more like an invitation. The water cascaded in perfect symmetry over the dark rocks, framed by ferns that seemed to lean in for a better look. It was as though the entire scene had been rehearsed countless times for an audience that rarely stayed long enough to appreciate it. Standing there, I couldn’t help but feel like I’d stumbled into a moment that wasn’t mine to own but simply to witness.
