With the school year in full gear, the carefree days of summer are fading into the past. But before they disappear entirely, the McGill Reporter has compiled a gallery of summer fun pics submitted by members of the McGill community. Ranging from artsy and evocative to classic postcard fare, the pictures include everything from nearby beaches and lakes to ancient ruins and exotic locations — proof that, somewhere in the world, the sun is shinning on a McGillian.
