Here's a photo for all the geography nuts out there (What is geographically significant about the Tropic of Capricorn?). Not often do I get the opportunity to stop and take a photo like this. Usually I'm whizzing by in a bus or plane.
This crossing of the T. of Capricorn was in the middle of nowhere in Namibia.

Another amazing BTOG factoid.
On my trip through Africa 2007, I crossed the
Tropic of Cancer: 4 times.
Equator: 4 times.
Tropic of Capricorn: 4 times.
International Dateline: once (ok, it was in fact a round-the-world trip.)
Tell me what line(s) have you crossed lately?
