Picture of the Week
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.” Adam Penner of Steinbach, Manitoba (Canada) takes home this week’s top honor as our “Picture of the Week.” It’s a fitting award, considering the two most prevalent themes in this week’s submissions – unbelievably beautiful horizons and Canadian photographers! (For more horizons – and a couple of extra Canadians – be sure to check out the “Picture of the Week” feature on our home page, at www.AVweb.com.)

Elieff of Ottawa,Ontario (Canada) carries the baton masterfully with this photo of"Sander Geophysics' airborne survey helicopter C-GSGH, pictured undernorthern lights and Ursa Major (the 'Big Dipper'). "I was part of the survey crew working in Canada's Northwest Territoriesthis November and had brought my old manual film camera along hoping forsuch a photo opportunity," Stefan writes. "(The new digital onesdon't last long at -30C). The glow inside the helicopter is from thecomputer screens of the geophysical instruments." | |||||||||||||
