Unusual monsoon pics: With arms wide open

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 from Mathew Jenif Joseph. "I took this picture of my sister in Abu Dhabi," he says. "It was actually clicked just before the rains set in and I saw how my sister was waiting for it to come. Rain is indeed a phenomenon in the desert."

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!

Heavenly light

This next one was shot by Chandan Kumar, who explains, "It was taken by me from a Delhi rooftop -- suddenly the sun's rays started to shine between the clouds, creating an impression of enlightment!"

Pretty as a pearl

Vineet Garg sent in this next one, of a perfect drop like a pearl hanging on a leaf after a shower. He says it was clicked by his friend Hemant at Bhadra River Camp.

Braving the rain

"Here is a uniqe snap of camels during the rains near Rawatbhata near Kota in Rajasthan," says S K Srivastava.

Bright hats in dull weather

And finally, we have this one from Sampreeti Malladi, who says, "This pic was taken on a short family vacation to Matheran, close to Mumbai. It was raining, wet and muddy, but great fun nevertheless."
