Sunset after the rains

Madhuri Ramagopal sends in this picture taken of a sunset at Agumbe, Karnataka just after the rains. She writes: "You can still see the clouds hovering above the mountains. It looked splendid! The vast expanse of mountains, the sunset and the rains made for a beautiful picture!"

Dark clouds over Black Forest

Poornima Sathy shot this picture of Lake Titisee in the heart of Black Forest, Germany. She writes: "The Black Forest region turned darker with ominous dark clouds and bone chilling winds during an out of season rain burst in the middle of spring. The dry branches, colourful flowers and dark clouds seem to make a picture of merging seasons."

Every dark cloud
