Next we have this photograph from regular contributor Prasun Sanyal of New Delhi, who explains, "I took this photograph in my village in West Bengal. These sellers hawk vegetables in bright sunlight and the heat is so intense they need umbrellas to cool themselves."
Ayan Deb Barman contributed this snapshot saying, "This is from my visit to the Grand Canyon. It was a part-cloudy and windy day but it only added to the view. As we can see in the pic, it really is grand. This is the view from the North Rim. When we asked the forest ranger how far the South Rim was, the answer was "only 200 miles"!
"This beautiful picture of the Green Bee-eater was taken at a lakeside in the early summer," states Dr Yogiraj Pardhi of Birmingham, UK. "This is a beautifully coloured bird and is commonly found in India. This particular one was spotted in my home village of Thanegaon in the Gondia District of Maharashtra. They are mostly seen in the plains, but can sometimes be found up to 5,000 or 6,000 feet in the Himalayas. Bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and ants, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch."
And finally, Karthik Sankaran e-mailed in this pic saying, "This was taken by me while returning from Bangalore to Chennai. Though it was a hot, sunny day we had a nice time seeing the setting sun on a Sunday evening."
