*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
There will be no complaining from our corner this week!With well over 100 submissions to our regular “Picture of the Week”contest and nearly two dozen real contenders for the top spot, life isgood. Impossible as it might have been, we’ve managed to pick fiveof our favorites to share with you here – but don’t forget there are adozen more to see in the “POTW” slideshow on ourhome page right now!
| Red Arrows at the Sunderland Air Show 2007 Yes, we labeled the small version of this one. That’s because wecouldn’t find any other way to show off the amazing panorama that madeMichael Palmer of Prudhoe,Northumberland (U.K.) our “Picture of the Week” winner. Go on -click the image and view the original photo. (Widescreen monitor users: Here’s your new desktop wallpaper!) Incredible, eh? Just as much so is the note from Michael that theimage is exactly “as captured and has not been modified in any way.” |
| Relax a Little Good advice from John Bentley ofBend, Oregon – who snapped this photo on his way to the Reno Air Races. Float planes, air races, goofing around on AVweb – we’re allabout some relaxing, John, but you’d better get back to work before theboss notices! | ||||
| Kaieteur Falls, Guyana That’s a 741-foot drop (from the top of the falls, not fromJeremy Clark‘s C-206). And you know how we’re always recommending wallpaper images fordifferent configurations? Well, this one looks great on a tabletPC or (with some judicious cropping) a PDA! | ||||
| Flying for Fun That dang ol’ moon is a great backdrop for anything, andDaniel Valovich of Hot Springs,Arkansas proves it by shooting a “radio-controlled biplane” in front ofit. Honest, that’s what he wrote! (We’re still looking carefully atit.) | ||||
| Dawn Patrol We’re entirely too embarrassed to admit what movie this gorgeous sunset from Patrick Mahaffey reminded us of. Suffice it to say, we’ll take Patrick’s photo over the movie any day. | ||||
