First up is this image of Lake Toba on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia from Pradeep Vasantha Murthy. "This is the world's largest volcanic lake and one of the world's deepest," he explains. "The landscape is magnificent."

Palace on the water
Next we have this one from Kumar Veetrag of the Lake Palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan. "This photo was taken three weeks ago," he explains."Lake Pichola had dried down and been waterless for more then five months. The first two showers helped increase the water level a little. Not the most favourable situation for Udaipurites, but a good sign to come. Even with just two rains, the Lake Palace hotel has come alive in its full glory."
Dry leaf on wet ground
Tridib Sardar sent in this picture, of a striking dry leaf taken "just after a light shower in Santa Clara, California."
Liberty lights up the sky
We received one from Ankur Tuteja, of the Statue of Liberty in New York, where the clouds are blotting out the sunlight. It almost looks like the light is emanating from the torch of the statue!
In the pink
And finally, Divya Natesan from a village known as Aruvikkara in Kerala contributed this pretty one, saying, "I took this just 10 minutes after a heavy shower. Rain has a special tone, it's a real blessing from nature."
