First up we have this image from Krishnan Chandramohan who says, "I clicked this picture when travelling from Bangalore to Pune on May 24. On hearing an announcement of turbulence, I just looked out of the window and the view was so beautiful, with the white clouds and bright sun."

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.

Next we have this one from Anand Kumar who explains, "This paragliding picture was taken in Goa at Baga Beach, when my wife and I took a week's vacation in April. It was a great moment to capture the silhouttes of people paragliding against the fading sunset. It was a cool, breezy evening with lots of paragliding activities going on at the beach and needless to say, it was a picture perfect moment.

Summer performance!
