The question remains, where does the water cycle start? The Water Cycle Rain to River to Seas to Rain The full moon for the last time on Christmas for the next 20+ years, Going down on the ocean Boxing day morning in Perth, Australia by Paul Welch Our usual place is the evaporation from the seas so here is the seas. Trees growing in the sea on a Darwin Beach by Geoff Bowers Once it hits the ground it is supposed to soak in and percolate away to the streams that start somewhere on high ground. Velassaru Maldives I Remember it Well by Alan Culley But then evaporation also comes from the land, so we need to add the land to the seas. We could go on like this for a long time, but the fact is that where ever there is a water surface exposed to air, we get evaporation. Even the plants and trees give off water in the same way, so I suppose we could short circuit the process and just add the trees to the water. Whichever way we view it, the water gets into the air and forms the clouds. After this wondrous event the water then falls in the form of rain, which itself has many forms drizzle, pouring, etc., but all are wet.

Lakeside by Matthew Brooks These small streams join with others to form rivers and canals. Murchison Falls by Peter Hogel As the water descends it gains power which we can harness and use, but eventually most of the water that fell as rain reaches the seas once again. Lake Mutanda in South Western Uganda. The cones in the background are Muhabura and Gahinga.. by Ben Oleni Ntale On route they may even form lakes. Some lakes are bigger than others, some are natural and others manmade. They all hold water and water attracts wildlife. Wildlife attracts photographers so for us, lakes are a good thing when the water remains within their bounds. Overflows are not a good thing as it keeps wildlife and photographers away. "Sea-scape" shot of Water/clouds and a spot of sunset, all essential elements in the cycle. Picture by Vaughan Jezznitz The rest of the water has already taken the evaporation shortcut to rain upon us once again. Isn’t nature wonderful.
