Click For Summary
The current forum contest, inspired by a previous alphabet-themed event, challenges participants to submit photos starting from the letter "Z" and working backwards to "A." The contest will run for two weeks, allowing ample time for submissions. Participants must use common English names for their photos, avoiding proper nouns, and can submit only one photo each. The photos should be resized to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels, with minimal editing allowed. All submissions must be original, and photos cannot be reused in future contests. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with potential for multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. Discussions have included humorous exchanges about photo submissions and the challenges of adhering to the contest rules, particularly regarding the originality and appropriateness of the images shared.

This type of cropping counts as "digitally altered" and is definitely against the context rules.
Better?

Much, much better. From wikipedia,
"Börek (Turkish pronunciation: [bøˈɾekʲ]; also burek and other variants) is a family of baked filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo (or yufka), of Anatolian origins and also found in the cuisines of the Balkans, Levant, Mediterranean, and other countries in Eastern Europe and Western Asia. A börek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. The top of the börek is often sprinkled with sesame seeds."
Snacks are snacks.

We are far from B, but I do have picture of burek, taken in Croatia.

It was supposed to be a subliminal public service announcement; "Vitamin C is important to your health."

The hurricanes and fires this year deleted my orange crop at the supermarket this summer, and I had to get by, with some "sciencey" stuff NASA invented, some years back.
I didn't realize you could still get Tang. I remember us having it when I was a kid. They used to have commercials on TV with astronauts.

Rocket. I took this at Wallops Island in the late 1960' when I was working for NASA. I was very proud of myself for having caught more than just the smoke trail. These little devils shoot up out of the tower going really fast.

That is an awesome picture of a rocket launch, especially considering the equipment used to capture the photo. Today's photographers could take rapid shots and pick the one they like (not having to worry about film costs. Speaking of that, I saw that Polaroid instant cameras are coming back. It costs $2 per picture though. I remember having one of those when I was a teenager. It was pretty fun.

Continuing the citrus theme. Before N comes M for Mandarins.

Edit: If you look closely you will find that one wedge is missing from the peeled mandarin. I wonder who can solve this disappearance mystery ...
