THESE wing walking wonders wowing Lowestoft Air Show goers have been chosen as The Journal’s Picture of the Week.
For the second week in a row, the town’s festival of flying has been the inspiration for the winning image, with Edward Wheeler, of Queens Road, Lowestoft, walking away with the prize.
His image of the two synchronised wing walkers seemingly just inches apart was singled out by the judges ahead of some fabulous fireworks, a beautiful butterfly and a spectacular lightning fork.
Mr Wheeler said: “I am a very keen aviation photographer of over 20 years. I especially enjoy taking pictures of older aircraft in digital and 35mm format, but I thought the wing walkers stood out more than any other aircraft on both days - they were so artistic.”
He will be presented with his image in a 12in x 10in frame, mounted and inscribed, in a prize worth more than £60 from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft. The photo will also go forward to the next final of winning images.
