Next we have this photograph from Amey Pandit who explains, "These pics were taken in June 2011 while travelling through the Karul Ghat, which joins the town of Gagan Bavada to the Konkan region near Kolhapur. During the rains the ghat region assumes a surreal look due to the mist, water streams and lush greenery."

Rajesh Kumar Saluja from New Delhi contributed this next one, stating, "I took this photo just after a rain shower while in a park."

"This photo was taken while travelling to Ganpatipule," says Anand K.
