Galloway Falls
Have you ever felt a sense of joy as you stand next to an awe-inspiring waterfall? It is said that waterfalls can make us happy. Even though some might dismiss this as an old pets’ tale, there does seem to be some scientific thinking behind the theory that waterfalls generate positive vibes. Waterfalls are considered to be one giant ion generator— the watery downpour gives off negative ions, which we take in as positive energy. Once the negative ions reach our bloodstream, they are said to increase our bodies’ production of serotonin, which is the chemical responsible for relieving stress and depression, and for boosting our energy and happiness. So it’s not surprising we might feel so great when we’re around waterfalls!

The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.
