Summer Vibes in December

I’ve been working on this project for a month. It’s easy to take summer-like photos during the actual summer season, but December is the farthest month from summer especially in the Northeast, where Christmas lights and cold air strip away any remaining traces of warmth. How challenging is it to find summer elements during this time of year? In this series, I tried to create photos with a summer vibe in the cold month of December, and make them indistinguishable from actual summer scenes, without any context. I hope you enjoy this collection.
