Sounds like a pizza, doesn't it?
 
Well, have you wondered where you can stand in four seasons at the same time? Probably not. Well here is the answer:
 
1) On the Columbian-Brazil border:

2) Internal Brazil: Boundary of Para and Amapa:

3) Internal DR Congo: Boundary of Equateur and Orientale

4) On DR Congo-Uganda border:

Explanation?
 
From June 1st N of Equator starts summer, S of Equator starts winter
Each N-S boundary about also marks a time zone boundary
so W of the line is one hour behind E of the line.
 
So if you stand in
Columbia N of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's summer
Columbia S of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's winter
Brazil N of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's spring
Brazil S of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's fall
 
How about that?
 
The bad news are that all four points seems hard to reach.
