Next we have this one from Mriganka who explains, "I captured this swan cooling off on and flapping its wings on a late summer evening in Shillong."

Abuzer Daudi contributed this great snap, explaining, "I shot this in Hasserghatta, on the outskirts of Bangalore. The guy in the pic is our very own desi cowboy (charwaha), trying to rest in the shade of his umbrella while keeping his eyes on the cattle and striking a pose for my lens."

"This summer pic is from my trip to Ganpatipule," says Rohan Potdar. "It was captured at 5:45 am, as the moon was setting and the sun was rising on the beach."

And finally, we have this photograph from Raguvaran Samidurai of Chennai, who says, "We think that summer takes a toll on humans only, which is not the case .Here is a snap of a cat near my balcony, hiding his eyes from the sun. He looked so cute that I simply had to click a photo of him on my mobile, even though I was on my way to the office."
