Niagara Falls is a 47.5 meter waterfall in Goldstream provincial park that is about a 4 minute walk from the highway. We pass it every time we drive to and from Victoria. We're pretty fortunate to have such a beautiful drive, but of course the others on the island feel trapped and constricted by the single-laned, one and only route to and from the provincial capital city. After living in the abysses of Phoenix and Los Angeles it's no comparison.
But the strangest hong about this nearly 140 foot rapidly dropping fall is that it empties into basically nothing. A glorified puddle and tiny 10 foot long stream and then vanishes into the ground. Something with so much potential, just sucked up into the core. In the winter and spring a small stream runs down into the Goldstream delta, but most of the time not.
If all energy just transfers to another form, where does the great potential energy go? Into kinetic as it falls to the earth and then what? The area surrounding is lush and serene and green and wildly alive. I'm guessing nothing is going to waste. Even if you can't see it, that doesn't mean it's not there...
