Some research has shown that the environment created by waterfalls (producing negative ions etc...) can have the effect of improving mood. I found Ruth's Waterfall website where she describes what she refers to as "The Grin Syndrome" which occurs when people experience a waterfall, they are happier and more energetic. I experience this when I see waterfalls or stand by the ocean. I feel almost giddy when I descend into a narrow canyon or ravine to find a dramatic waterfall.

There are a great many causes and effects in this world which we cannot scientifically prove. Or perhaps more accurately, science hasn't gotten around to looking at the many of these causes. Waterfalls improving mood......yep, I beleive that one, don't need science to prove it for me. When a waterfall is reduced to a pathetic trickle, the world is a grumpier place.

Frequently I retreat to photos of waterfalls to improve my mood. I think that on first glance the best photo is the first one of Falling Springs, although, perhaps the most interesting photo is the next one which is taken from beneath falling springs. Another one that I recently added was taken at the Lower Falls of Hills Creek. This photo was spliced together as a vertical panorama. It came out pretty well.

Let the rain fall and waterfalls flow.
