Submit a Photo | Rules | Tips | Questions | Past POTW Winners
"Stiff competition" is the order of the day in our latest installment of "Picture of the Week." Not only do the number of contributions continue to rise as we enter fall here in the U.S., but the quality of photos seems to be on the rise, as well. Not that quality has ever been a problem when it comes to picking "POTW" contenders, but the last few weeks have been chock-full of great-looking photos that we simply couldn’t find a way to squeeze in. Rest assured, we’ve saved plenty of them to our hard drives and turned them into lovely wallpapers – sokeep sending ’em! Even those that don’t make it into our weekly round-up are ogled and appreciated by the AVwebbers who go through ’em.
*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
| A Lake Above Misty Fjord, Alaska Paul Tipton of Belton, Texas flew into Misty Fjord in Alaska with pilot Ryan McCue. We’re not sure who built the fire or pitched the tent, but we think we’d like an invite the next time, Paul – looks like a lot of fun. | ||||
| Someone’s Treasured "Pot of Gold" at the End of the Rainbow Ken Price of Muskegon, Michigan snapped several shots of this incredible rainbow last week. "So bright it almost hurt my eyes," writes Ken – and the photos came out great. We had a hard time choosing just one, but we finally settled on this one, which seemed to capture the spirit of "POTW" best. | ||||
| Skytypers at Sunset Mark Silvestri of Upton, Massachusetts writes:

| Breathtaking! Larry Portman of Garland, Texas rented a C-206 with the intention of landing at this – um, somewhat intimidating-looking airstrip on Milford Sound, New Zealand. Weather let Larry and crew off the hook – "we were advised that the winds were too dangerous," he writes, and "we had to settle for this view from 2,500′ instead!" | ||||
| Short Final Iain Indian of Oak Park, Victoria (Australia) snapped this from the radar tower near Melbourne International Airport. (The muted colors look great in the large-size version.) | ||||
| Pre-Flight Check Scott Porter of Prestonsburg, Kentucky flies us out this week. Thanks, Scott – and everyone else who took time to submit this week! We’ll see you all next Thursday for more great airplane pictures. |
