Ford tractor at the estancia Fitz Roy in Chile. This is just one of the photos I've posted from this interesting place. You can see the arm of the ocean in the background, that I described in another photo. Also in the background are some of the other many pieces of farm equipment that they had at the estancia. By the way, Ford tractors were usually painted in all-over BLUE, not this interesting two-tone. Image processed with GIMP.

Another piece of farm machinery from the Fitz Roy estancia in Chile. In this case, a farm steam engine. Interesting color scheme... Image processed with GIMP.

Taken at the Fitz Roy estancia near Punta Arenas, Chile. They have a collection of just about anything, on the grounds, as well as in the barns. This is just one of the tractors on display. (Notice that they have re-painted the tractor, but part of the equipment is still very rusty.) Image processed with GIMP.

There is a barn at the Fitz Roy estancia, just full of antique items. It appears that they never threw anything away. Here are some radios. When you live very far from civilization, the radio becomes an important communication device. We took a tour from Punta Arenas, Chile, to this estancia, among other stops. To get to the farm, our full tour bus was loaded onto an already-laden ferry, and carried over a narrow arm of the ocean. Quite an experience. Image processed with GIMP.
