I travelled to a waterfall! Now there’s an excuse to escape the city, with friends or alone to go on an adventure.
Waterfalls are not only about the places, but also about finding them. I love travelling. I love watching traffic from a car window, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette at a petrol station, meeting the locals, listening to their stories and participating. I love when wading through the woods, the sound of the water becoming audible and intensifying with each step. The magic of nature is simple to encounter in the cinema and strange to discover in person.
The word ‘waterfall’ is often confused with the word ‘fountain’. While guessing on tarot cards, which also have inverted meanings, I got the card ‘Chariot’. It depicts a knight with the Holy Grail in his hands — a symbol of a cherished goal and spiritual energy. It made me wonder: what force controls water, which is always in motion?
