On Holiday

For half the world, July is still the thick of summer. The light is golden, the sun is shining, and if you're anywhere near the equator, you don't need water to feel like you're swimming. There's a different mood in summer. The season brings a shift into less to do, lazy days (the right kind), and an openness to whatever fun comes your way.

There's a playfulness in the air. Freedom. And a heat that allows the stress of other seasons to melt like wax.

So with that spirit, and given it's the last week in July, we wanted to do a holiday round up from the community. Your interesting roadside finds, your family outings, your visual vignettes that showcase the art of vacation.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy these images!
