Why so? There's no requirement that the photo's subject be near you, or that you have been to it. Heck, there isn't even a requirement that it be a photo at all! ;-)
Um... this is the "daily picture Challenge" ...

Precisely. :-)

Count "red" and "nosed" separately; you don't need to have "red-nosed" on a sign.

Since "nosed" by itself would be VERY difficult, things like "nosedive", "diagnosed", "Nosedo", etc. are allowed.

EDIT: Based on precedent from March 7 and May 8, my challenge is the December 3 challenge, not a separate challenge.

No, that one would serve as the Dec 3rd Challenge. (Yours has since been re-posted as the Dec 4th Challenge.)

My contribution to this challenge is from my trip to Charleston, South Carolina at the beginning of June, with this particular photo taken on my Mother's iPhone. This is on Morrison Drive looking Westbound, right at US 52, very close to Interstate 26 in Charleston. US Highway 78 is on the left, and it is the higher number; US Highway 52 is on the right, and it is the lower number - and they are both U.S. Routes. Also, I apologize for the picture being a little bit blurry, but it is a screenshot that is zoomed in. Here is the photo:



Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

I corrected the date, since it's no longer December 4, and there was already a challenge for December 4.

I took this picture in October, while my family and I were up in Saint Cloud, MN.  Before the wedding we were attending, we went for a walk to hunt for munzee and geocache.  The Beaver Island Trail passes directly underneath a transmission tower near the Mississippi River dam, near the south end of the SCSU campus.

Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

There are some interesting, almost cantilevered timber power lines just before US 421 leaves I-74  heading eastbound in Decatur County. I've never seen anything else like them, and they catch my attention every time I drive past.
