Next we have this one from Arindam Chakraborty, shot at sunset on a riverbank.

Prasun Sanyal of New Delhi contributed this pic, explaining, "I took this photograph from my balcony. The gardener watering the park left the hose on the ground. Due to the intense heat in the month of May, the pigeons took this opportunity to satisfy themselves and relax; they were on the wet ground for over an hour, enjoying themselves."

"I captured this pic at a resort near Corbett National Park," states Abdullah Aziz of New Delhi.

And finally, we have this image from Sandeep Chakrala who says, "The sun was sinking into the Arabian Ocean after an exhausting, scorching Saturday. I had to wait awhile for the sailboat to reach this exact position, but it was worth it. The pic somehow reminds me of the "up is down" scene in Pirates of the Caribbean.
