Each week, one of the moderators or administrators selects an image that, for whatever reason, catches their eye. Please feel free to add your comments here. Vigorous discussion of the images and techniques is welcome and encouraged. Criticism of any mod for their choice is not. Please note that this is "Picture of the Week"; do not confuse that with "best picture of the week", which is a concept of which we have no understanding.

This week's PotW has been selected by aim54x (Cameron)...... Cameron wrote:When I was approached to choose the picture of the week I was both shocked and honoured, never having managed to snare a POTW myself. There were a large number of images for me to choose from, and many images that were worthy of consideration. However, I must be forgiven for choosing the image that I related to the most. It may not be everyone's favourite, but Greg's image from this post, simply resonated to me. The darkness of the sky and cloud contrasted by the fragility of the hang glider makes for a powerful image that has a strong eerie feeling. Into the unknown, into the darkness....
