Unusual summer pics: One tree, many colours!

We invited you to send in unique summer-themed photographs -- odd scenes that are captured on a lens for posterity -- to share with other readers. Here is the next set of responses!

First up we have this pic in from Amit Jadhav in Mumbai. "The single branch of a mango tree has leaves of all hues and shades," he says. And don't they look lovely?

Share your interesting summer 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 summer pics') -- we'll publish the most interesting ones on rediff.com and in India Abroad. And make sure to include a little-write up of where you clicked the snap.

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

Curious camel

This next image is from Ramesh Anand, shot at Chennai Zoo in the month of May. "He looks pitiable, as there was no water nor trees nearby to beat the heat," he explains. "We were also viewing him in the midday heat, so I'd just like to say cool down, my friend!"

Shadow play

Abhishek Nandi sent in this one, saying, "It was a hot, humid Sunday afternoon and I took this snap from the banks of the river Hooghly at Panihati,West Bengal."

Fiery flowers

These flowers seem to reflect the fiery hues of a summer sunset. Ashok Seluka, who e-mailed in the pic, says, "I happened to shoot it in our company park in Sunnyvale, California. We were enjoying a barbeque and it was a cloudy day; however, the flower seemed to radiate heat."

The moon plays hide 'n' seek

And finally we have a lovely photograph from Guru Nair, who says, "I took it at 2 am from atop my Ambernath Bungalow."
