Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
The winter chill continues to keep many of our contributors locked indoors watching the Discovery Channel instead of snapping photos for us in the great outdoors. Nevertheless, a few dedicated souls have decided to spend their evenings curled up by the fire going through last summer’s flying photos. Our hat’s off the them – literally, in the case of our weekly photo contest winner, semi-regular contributor Don Parsons, who’ll be receiving a sharp AVweb baseball cap in the mail in just a few short days.

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.

Hey, it's Doug Gaudette of Xenia, Ohio - back in the very same spot for an eerie two weeks in a row, this time showing off that he's "mile-high in a powered paraglider." We think you might be having a bit too much fun out there, Doug. Maybe it's time for a week of watching TV and picking up around the house, eh? | |||||||||||||
