Past Winners
Each week, we go through dozens (and sometimes
hundreds) of reader-submitted photos and pick the very best to share
with you on Thursday mornings. The top photos are featured on
AVweb's home page, and one photo
that stands above the others is awarded an AVweb baseball cap as our
"Picture of the Week." Want to see your photo on AVweb.com?
Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
With wint'ry weather, twinkly lights, and holiday cheer
all around us, nothing made us happier than finding an electronic
submission box stuffed to overflowing with holiday-themed photos this
week. Since this is our last chance to share the seasonal cheer,
here are some of our favorites from AVweb readers.

Merry Christmas
Charlie Owen's photo — "taken on
Lake Hood in Anchorage, Alaska at night in freezing fog with 1/4-mile
visibility" — would make the perfect pilot's postcard.
There's nothing we could say that would sum it up better, so — from
Charlie via AVweb — season's greetings to you all! |

Santa'a Arrival
Thomas L. Rudolf of Middletown, Ohio
explains that this particular light display can be found in a city park
by Middletown's Hook Field (MWO). "Appropriately," writes Thomas,
"Santa has arrived by helicopter." |

Santa at t TGI
Yep, the big man in the red suit showed up a few times in this week's
batch of photos. He looks a little overdressed at Virginia's
Tangier Island Airport (TGI), but in the spirit of the season, he still
made time to pose for Piotr Kulczakowicz
of Chevy Chase, Maryland.
(For the record, Santa seems to own quite a few Cessnas and
helicopters, but he didn't show up in any ultralights this year.) |

Arctic Landing
Trevor Kudrna of Anchorage, Alaska
serves up a winter wonderland (and an off-the-beaten-path location for a
landing). No Santas, twinkling lights, or religious symbols here —
but tell us you wouldn't love string a few blue-and-white lights on
those snow-capped trees, eh? |

Smooth Landing ... Still Sleeping
Lidia Nonn's niece Molly has
the right idea here. With Santa on the way — do we hear
rotors on the rooftop? — it's time for all good little AVwebbers
to tuck themselves into bed.
(Before you don your kerchiefs and nightcaps, though, be sure to
check out the
slideshow on our home page for more reader-submitted photos.)

Send us your photos here!
—
A quick note for submitters: If you've got several
photos that you feel are "POTW" material, your best bet is to submit
them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing
print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on
us, too. ;)
A Reminder About Copyrights:s:
Please take a moment to consider the
source of your image before submitting to our "Picture of the Week" contest.
If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed
authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you're uncertain,
consult the
POTW
Rules or
or
send us an e-mail.
