AVweb’s Picture of the Week …
It’s been another terrific week for “POTW” submissions – so good, in fact, that we snagged 47 images for our personal desktop wallpaper. (At one a day, we’ve already got enough unique wallpapers to last us until late spring!) Here are the top six, capped off by the best photo of New Jersey we’ve ever published.* Congratulations to Geoffrey Hickey, who’ll be receiving an official AVweb baseball cap for his photo.
