A descended rainbow!

First up we have this image from Veetrag, who says, "This is a rainbow shot at Sahelion Ki Bari in Udaipur. In summer, when Rajasthan is crazy hot, this is one of the places which remains cool. A broken fountain's splash makes a wonderful rainbow here. "

Share your interesting summer snapshots with us! They could be from anywhere across India or the world, but they have to be original.

Simply e-mail your photographs to travelpicsga@rediffmail.com (subject line: 'Unusual summer pics') -- we'll publish the most interesting ones on rediff.com and in India Abroad. And make sure to include a little-write up of where you clicked the snap.
