Next we have this one from Partha Banerjee who explains, "This was taken in Alibaug, Maharashtra. The heat was too much, but the sun was setting so we thought of catching it in our hands! Enjoyed the evening by the sea."

Piyush Kumar contributed this next one, which was taken in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu. It's a hill station around 200 kms from Bangalore.

"I took this picture during my flight back to Saudi Arabia from Delhi, 30,000 feet above the ground," says Syed Mohammad Anas of Riyandh. "The huge mountain ranges lie like sand dunes; it's so nice to see the world so calm from the sky, but as you reach the surface you find human nature is destroying it. Wishing for world peace..."

And finally, we have this photograph from Alok Sharma of twilight in Goa.
