Postcards from around the world

Our late-August heat wave has given way to cooler, more seasonal temperatures reminding us (as if we need reminding) that summer is all but over. But before we give way completely to the fall and, ugh, winter, we give you our annual summer vacation photos taken by members of the McGill community as they relaxed, recharged and rediscovered the simple joys of life.

As the pictures below demonstrate, McGillians are a diverse bunch. We travelled far (Australia, Germany, Denmark) and we stayed close to home (Montreal, Mont Tremblant, Quebec City). We soaked up the sun on glorious beaches in Cuba and climbed snow-crested peaks in B.C. We swam in rivers, lakes, oceans and pools and at least two of us took in the beauty of Niagara Falls.

If you would like to add your vacation pictures to the gallery, send high resolution shots and caption information (who, what, where) to Neale McDevitt.
