This may be your crowning achievement! 'Z' is the final letter, the 'brown' in the alphabet itself, and yet the depicted Z is manifest only after the challenge is complete. It's obvious now – you really can't miss seeing it – but it was very cleverly concealed during voting. One of those 'hiding in plain sight' things.

You are a little out of reach for most folks here, which is a measure of their limitations and not your own.

This series of six pictures is astonishing. Actually, preposterous, when considered from the summer of 34° South.

The ice structures seem to be living things; some kind of fabled creatures arisen from the story books. But I imagine that it does not seem so whimsical and entertaining when one has to live through this freeze. I will picture you here in shorts and tee shirt, if that helps at all?

Nice transition in this picture, from upper right to lower left. It starts out in one way and seamlessly becomes another. Well done.

He's even got his head turned to the side to do the cough. Proctological considerations aside, it's a nice picture, as always.

That's a wise comment!
