Muradiye Waterfall

What does a stream do when a pitch-black step of stone appears in its path? Stop and wait, turn back, or throw itself into the void? At Muradiye Waterfall north of Van, the Bendimahi River chooses the third: after tumbling down in a burst of foam, it carries on its way as if nothing had happened. So how does a river get past an obstacle with such grace? Anyone who stands before the falls watching that white foam understands once again just how determined water can be.
