On September 21, summer officially came to a close. We thought we would extend the season a bit by posting our annual summer photo gallery looking back and celebrating some of the fun and adventures we had, and the memories we made.
When we made the call for members of the McGill community to submit their summer pictures, we were overwhelmed by the response. We received so many photos that we have divided the photos into two galleries, one posted today and the next to be posted next week.
We thank everyone – students, staff, faculty, alumni and retirees – for their wonderful submissions. We apologize that we were not able to use everyone’s photos as our format only works with pictures of certain dimensions.
Enjoy!

"In this picture taken in Guatemala, more specifically in Antigua, we can see the Fuego volcano in eruption. To get to this amazing viewpoint, a 6 hours hike on the Acantenango volcano is necessary. The Fuego erupts approximately every 15 minutes, so it was incredible to see the lava so often!"

"I was a beekeeper for a day in a small village of France tucked in the Southwest of France - Sérignac.
This amazing experience reinforced the importance of helping and saving our bees. They are Nature's barometer of changes. They also have a tremendous sense of community."
