A look back at summer, from L.A. Times readers

There’s a bit of a chill in the air, and the sun is now setting about 5 p.m. If that makes you long for summer, a look at this photo gallery might bring back those lazy, crazy, hazy days. Readers submitted summer vacation photos earlier this year, and in thinking back on them, we realized there were some that might help us out of our shortest-days-of-the-year funk.

From Andrea Ashley’s photo of Hollywood Beach in Oxnard to Bret Lama’s photo at Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, these photos will warm you on these chilly autumn days.
