We invited readers to send in their interesting monsoon snapshots. Here is the next set of responses -- and you can share yours too!

We invited you to send in unique monsoon-themed photographs -- odd scenes that are captured on a lens for posterity -- to share with other readers. Here is the first set of responses!

We received this image from Amit Tyagi who says, "This was clicked on the way to Tungnath, the world's highest Shiva temple. The trek is well laid, a 3.5 km path from Chopta and goes through lush green 'Bugyals' (high-altitude meadows)."

Share your interesting monsoon 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 monsoon 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.

Remember, the theme is the monsoons, so your photograph has to gel with the season. Hurry and send in your entry today!

Disclaimer: The photographs featured in this series are, to the best of our knowledge, original entries submitted by readers. Rediff.com does not assume any responsibility for their originality.
