Next we have this one from Yagnesh Champaneria who says, "Two weekends ago, we went to Sinhagad Fort, around 35 kms from Pune -- and it was simply heaven. The place was completely covered with clouds, drizzling all the time. It was the best-ever experience of monsoon."

Deepak Soni contributed this next snapshot, clicked at Iswal, near Udaipur in Rajasthan during a picnic.

"Photographed at Shabridam Temple, it looks like this spider is saving water," says Arun Raj.

And finally, Prabir Sengupta sent in this photograph saying, "We came across this abandoned boat while scouting around Nainital. A heavy rain made all of us run down a forest track and take shelter under a tree by an isolated lake, where we found the submerging boat."
