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?

*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***
The weather is beginning to cool down a bit at "POTW" world headquarters, and that means we’re spending more time indoors. Thankfully, AVweb readers from around the globe continue to submit their original photos to our weekly contest, helping us pass the time in style.
| Beautiful French Sunset – Microlight Style Whereas we often close our weekly round-up of reader photos with a breathtaking sunset, we’re turning things on their head today. Guy Lynch of Pewsey, Wiltshire (U.K.) kicks off this week’s entries with plenty of orange and just a hint of crisp evening air. "[I] nearly put ‘no need for a caption,’" writes Guy – and he’d have been right to do so. Frankly, it can be a bit tough putting words to some of our favorite photos, so we know exactly what Guy was thinking. |
| "Which Way Is Up?" Hey, that’s no biplane! We’ll let it slide this time, but only because Vahid Jahed of Minden, Nevada vouches for you. (We’ve got our eye on you, Thunderbird!) | ||||

| Shocking! Jim Thrash of Edmond, Oklahoma tells a spate of bad weather in Dallas diverted this airliner to OKC. (Photo copyright Brian Brooks.) | ||||
| Modern Airplane Sales Well, maybe "modern" is a tiny bit misleading.

Join us next week for more photos from AVweb readers around the globe. (Assuming, of course, that they take time to submit them!)
In the meantime, you can satisfy your craving for more reader-submitted pics by visiting the slideshow on AVweb‘s home page. Head on over there now.

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:
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.
