Daily Picture Challenge!

[formulanone]

Recap Time! Choose between 1 or 3 Challenges from January 2020, with a maximum of 3 images per post. You can continue re-posting any or all of these Challenges until the end of this month, unless it was a previous Challenge with no reply (which continue indefinitely until solved by anyone other than the original poster). Same rules apply; no consecutive posting by same member unless calendar day has elapsed in your time zone.

Note: as with the previous customs of this thread, someone may still submit a new Daily Picture Challenge, which is also good until the end of the month.
