Tower on a rainy night

We invited you to send in unique rain-themed photographs -- odd scenes that are captured on a lens for posterity -- to share with other readers. Here are some more responses!

First up is this one of from Sathish Chittibabu, who says, "I clicked this picture on our recent trip to London (August 13, 2010) and wanted to share it with fellow readers. This was our first trip to the city and we were excited to walk on the famous London Tower Bridge. It was raining on and off and we were walking fast along the Thames River to get to the other end of the bridge before it starts raining heavily. I shot just when the rain had stopped for a few minutes. The sky looked so beautiful, with the dark clouds a deeper shade of blue."

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