Wife and I finally did one of her "high on the list" places and went to Patagonia last year. Why we waited so long (it was my fault, I was hesitant) is beyond me. It was amazing. Shot a decent amount of expired film, so some of the colors weren't what they were supposed to be but, what can ya do? Nothing.

Whoa!
Patagonia is on our bucket list too. I'm so glad someone got to go.
I see that the school crossing sign is universal

What a different world! Love the shot of the Shepard watch dog with the security cameras.
I am in Argentina quote regularly because my wife is from there, but we have not made it to Patagonia yet. It's on my list for this year's visit in December when its winter "down" there.

I have a "stupid question".
Is Patagonia only accessible through Argentina? Is there a Chilean Patagonia?
Back when I was a very serious rock-climber and alpinist, Patagonia was a real "destination". Still is.
Among the climbing world, it was said Patagonia is an opportunity for psychological growth or collapse: You either learn to embrace the wind and live as one with it, or you melt into a quivering mass of wind-beaten former human. The wind has power in Patagonia. It is a constant. Ever present. Potent.

Thanks. I suppose I never learned too much about the region because during my years as a climbing bum, it was pointless to pretend we could afford the trip. Some years have passed, and now that I'm no longer a climbing bum I can actually entertain such a trip.......
.......However, what I'd give to be a young, spry climbing bum again
I remember reading Rock&Ice and Climbing magazine and drooling over the incredible photos of Patagonia and the various climbs that were being done there. The "alpine" climbs were the main draw, but there were/are routes and areas of primarily rock-climbing too (there are distinctions, ask me if you want to know). It was nice to see that some lucky climbing bums were visiting the area!
I remember my climbing partners and I felt so "international" when we took trips to Mexico or Canada. Those were shoestring adventures, but what adventures they were!! Now I'm getting downright nostalgic. Sure, we were dirt poor, but life was good and I was in darn good shape then. I had my Nikon FE2 and EM with me on a lot of those adventures. Also took some RF cameras at times (Hi-matics, QL-17, XA, C-35, even my Kalimar-A). I suppose its time to dig up some of those images.

Lovely photos. Really love the one with the moss dominated trees. An ethereal feel to it.

Thanks! The 6x6 images are my gf670, the 6x7 images are my gf670w. At least, I think I was shooting them this way at the time. If not, the photos are mix of the two.

December would be summer down there.
It was such an amazing trip, and, the Chilean govt just set aside 11 million more acres as national park. Pretty amazing. I'd suggest it to anyones.
