Up next is this pic from Vishnu Sarma, who says, "At the beginning of the monsoon season, I saw this cloud-formation that looks like a dragon and captured it on camera."

Rohan Kale sent in this next image, explaining that it was shot at Lonavala's Tiger Point. "This place looks awesome during the rainy season, with complete greenery," he says. "There is a big valley behind me and a huge moutain, but it's so foggy out there that you can hardly see it..."

Vinit Kanitkar from Pune e-mailed us this pretty shot, of buds shimmering with rain and waiting to burst forth in bloom.

And finally, we have this photograph from Abhishek Shukla of Bangalore. "It was shot at Grand Bay in Mauritius," he says. "It was eveningtime, after the monsoon clouds had madly showered and the setting sun peeped out."
