Unusual summer pics: A siesta in the tub!

First up is this unique pic from Prasun Sanyal. "I have taken this photograph in my village, situated in West Bengal in the Midnapur District," he explains. "A mother was giving her child a bath. In the daytime, village areas experience high heat, but due to the open environment, it doesn't bite us. Here, the baby is enjoying his tub time."
