This is the monthly thread for **December, 2025**. The topic this month is “ **On the Road** ” chosen by @Turek. **IMPORTANT:** It is recommended that you not use Imgur to host your photos, as some members may not be able to see your submission. A hosting site that seems to work better is ImgBB. See instructions below. **Please post only your photo and, if you want, a title in this thread. Any other text belongs in the** [rolling discussion thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-monthly-photo-competition-rolling-discussion-thread/975642).
