A drink mid-flight

Next we have this photograph from Kshitiz Pawar of Chennai who says, "The picture was taken at sunset from my terrace -- a thirsty crow was drinking water directly from the pipes."

A beach frolic

Shreenidhi D S contributed this pic, stating, "I took this on a beach in Surathkal, a coastal town in Karnataka. These two children were in a playful mood on a sunny evening."

Cooling off

"This was shot at Philadelphia Zoo in PA," says Todd E. This big cat was trying to stay cool in the heat by taking a dip in the water."

At the water tank

And finally, we have this snap from Prasun Sanyal of New Delhi, who explains, "I took this photograph with my mobile phone from inside a cab last month. It was 4:30 pm, so you can guess the temperature! These little kids were drinking water from the tank to beat the heat."
