A summer month called for one background and one background only: the beach. Thus, there was a beach behind him, blue water with the light of the sun shining off of it.

It looked hot even if it didn't feel hot. The air smelled of salt and one could almost forget that it was winter with what they were seeing.

Hannibal (http://i36.tinypic.com/52o2me.jpg) was in a swimsuit, standing on the sand and letting the water curve around his feet. He could do this all day.
