goddamnit Arthur, continued

Me, looking through photos and videos of the Reichenbach Falls and trying to match these up with the descriptions from The Final Problem and The Empty House: Arthur...

Dude, you literally went there to see this waterfall and it still doesn't match what you wrote! I know the path and the rock behind the falls have both eroded so the path is now much further back from the waterfall but there's no way everything else changed that much! The rocks aren't black! You can't see to the bottom through the spray! Or hear anything over that water noise! And there are loads of trees and plants and grasses and stuff on the edges!

On the plus side watching these videos has me more convinced than ever that Holmes didn't have a clue what happened to Moriarty after he slipped over the side of the path thus Moriarty survived. I mean I've been saying this for ages but this is the first time I have seen any videos from above the waterfall.
