Tanushree sent in this next one, saying "This is the Niagara Falls in full flow, glowing in the summer sun. My hubby shot this on our visit this June."

S Nandakumar sent in this next image, saying, "Summer in the UK is a big relief for the locals who come out in full force and enjoy the sun while it lasts, especially in London, where the next rain is just minutes away.
