A roadside equator marker on Gabon's N1 — iconic for shots showing the geographic divide between northern and southern hemispheres. Photograph the painted line, signage and visitors posing with one foot in each hemisphere. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for soft light and long shadows; midday light is harsh. Easily accessible by car with informal lay-bys; be cautious of traffic. No entry fees; locals often pose for photos — ask before photographing people.
