Dew drop sparklers
Next we have this one from Davinder Mann, "shot in a remote village in Punjab."
Cruising in the clouds
Satya N Govind (Chari), who describes himself as a scriptwriter, cartoonist and amateur photographer sent this image in. He explains, "For the past two months, Delhi has been receiving unexpectedly heavy rainfall, the recorded maximum since 1978. I've managed to click a plethora of photographs on the city's stint with the monsoons and I hope you like this one of an eagle cruising through the overcast sky, just a few minutes before a downpour. It reminds me of the Dark Knight flying over Gotham City with the bat symbol as a backdrop."
Making a break for it
"This fully loaded tempo was making its way through a water-logged street near Noble Nagar in Ahmedabad on September 11, 2010," says Sumesh Pillai.
Nature's kiss
And finally, we have a photograph from Chandan Sinha of Ghaziabad, who says, "It was taken at Chopta near Tungnath Temple in Uttaranchal and seems like the dense clouds are kissing the forest."
