: Classes are ending, vacation plans are depleting offices around the country and attention spans are evaporating in the sun. It's summer once again, and in case you forgot why you were so stoked on it last year, our readers have chosen 10 photos to remind you. Over the past two weeks of voting we've received many truly excellent submissions, with these 10 superb photos gaining top ranking among voters. Andrew Brooks won the contest with Sunset Over Wheatfield at left. Mr. Brooks will be receiving a subscription to Wired magazine and a digital picture frame for his desk.
Since we had so many great photos that we think should've received more votes, we've also compiled a Wired.com Editor's Choice Summer Photo Gallery.
Our next twice-monthly photo contest is squares. Show us your best photographic ode to this classic shape. Check out the contest page for more information.
