Smoke On

... and Late Evening Reflections

Would you believe this Stearman photo from Peter Braswell of Chesterfield, Virginia was so good italmost didn't make it in to the competition? We were so captivatedby it, we saved the image directly to our "keep this one" folder andalmost forgot to copy it into the competition folder!

According to Peter, the photo was snapped at a recent EAA RegionalFly-In in Virginia.

Tom's the one in the cockpit, along with navigator Sean Staggs.

Brian Emch of Lancaster, Californiawrites:

Taken in [the] evening of the last day of the Reno Air Races last month. These two boys had already been warned once by security not to go out to the A-10, which had just been towed out. This time around, they got chewed out pretty good. But that's why there's a fence, people!

Honey Whittier of Glendale, Arizonatook this tower photo as her 16-year-old son was preparing for his solo.

Strangely, it arrived during the same week as another great ATC towerphoto - also shot in Arizona! We were torn as to which photo torun, but (fortunately for us), we noticed that our other was fromsomeone who'd been featured in recent months and decided to give Honey abit of the spotlight.

(Honey and Christopher: Both of you are welcome to send usphotos anytime!)

(Insert Witty Sign Post Joke Here)

Rather than close on a skyline photo this week, we thought we'd leaveyou with a photo that had us both smiling and scratching our heads.Not that it's particularly confusing, but - well, we just couldn'tdecide on a punchline!

Thanks to Peter Grimm of Minden,Nevada for brightening our afternoon.
