En route to the Tropic of Capricorn the road took us off the beaten track and made a stop at a viewpoint.
The terrain was arid with slate visible in the area.
The Tropic of Capricorn is one of the five major circles of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the southern solstice. Its northern equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer. The position of the Tropic of Capricorn is not fixed and varies over time. It is presently 23°26’ S 14°27’ E in Erongo Namibia.
A forgone sign in the middle of nowhere is the marker and an invisible line that defines the circle.
Not far from there was an oasis of greenery and palms.
The promise of cold drinks and ice cream close by.
