Monday Geology Picture: Decorating with Rocks

This week I’m sharing another picture that I took during a recent visit to Botswana. I saw this garden decoration at a hotel. What a great way to decorate with rocks! I might have to put up something similar in my garden one day. What rock decorations do you have in your garden?

Monday Geology Picture: Botswana Landscape

A lovely Botswana landscape, with some sedimentary rocks in the background.

This week I’m sharing another picture from my recent travels in Botswana. Here’s a lovely landscape view, taken along the road between Gaborone and Jwaneng. There are some beautiful red-colored sedimentary rocks in background. These rocks have weathered to produce the reddish colored soil in the foreground.

Monday Geology Picture: Tropic of Capricorn

Tropic of Capricorn statue, a roadside attraction in Botswana.

I recently traveled to Botswana, and I was delighted to find a statue marking the Tropic of Capricorn as a roadside attraction. This statue is brand new and was unveiled earlier this year. Check out this article for some more information.

Here are a couple pictures of the informational signs associated with the statue:

The statue is brand new, having been unveiled earlier in 2018.

If you ever find yourself in Botswana, please visit the statue! I enjoyed the stop greatly.
