Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Our latest winning photo comes from Harold Moritz of East Haddam, CT – and it kicks off a running theme in our latest review of reader-submitted photos. Click here for the rest of this week’s submissions.





Taken from the Roosevelt Overlook on the Palisades Parkway in New York during the southbound pass down the Hudson River. Quite a sight!
Contrast enhanced and color balanced a tad due to backlighting; sharpened.
Ed. Note: That's right: We're kicking off this installment with a theme, space shuttle enthusiasts!
