Next we have this one from Ganapati Hosmane, who explains, "I clicked these pictures last week, on a trek to Rajgad near Pune." Looks like the spider whose home this is will have to do a lot of mopping up!

Vijay Bhagoliwal sent in this photograph, saying, "This was clicked in the evening from Kowloon. Very dark clouds loomed over, giving an excellent colour to the sky. What you see in the background is the skyscape of Hong Kong."
