Unusual monsoon pics: Baiting in the river

We invited you to send in unique rain-themed photographs -- odd scenes that are captured on a lens for posterity -- to share with other readers. Here are some more responses!

First up is this one of a fisherman casting for his daily catch from Kranthi Kiran, who credits K Sreenivas and Nisha Sridhar for the image. "This was taken during a trip to Dudhsagar Waterfalls in Goa by the Hyderabad Adventure Club," he says.

Share your interesting monsoon snapshots with us! They could be from anywhere across India or the world, but they have to be original.

Simply e-mail your photographs to getahead@rediff.co.in (subject line: 'Unusual monsoon pics') -- we'll publish the most interesting ones right here. And make sure to include a little-write up of where you clicked the snap.

Remember, the theme is the monsoons, so your photograph has to gel with the season. Hurry and send in your entry today!

Guiding light

This next one of lights on the highway on a rainy day is from Melwyn Pawar, clicked on his way to Igatpuri and Malshej Ghat.

Descent of the clouds

Digvijay Mehta sent in this one, of clouds seemingly descending in a misty haze after rainfall.

Haven in the rain

"I captured this on my recent Kerala visit in the first week of June, when the monsoon just started in the beautiful coastal state," explains Shahab Shakeel. "It's a church on a misty evening in Thekkedey."

To wade or not to wade?

And finally, we have this picture from Mahesh Rajamani of Kolathur, Chennai. "It was taken when heavy rains slashed Chennai," he says. "At that time our area was fully surrounded with flood water. The little girl in the picture -- Pooja -- is from my neighbourhood and was curiously contemplating the water."
