Petrol in the Pampa


Roads through the pampas of Patagonia (Argentina) are long and lonely. No villages, almost no cars.... All cars driving fast; very eager to arrive at their destination. From the coast, Puerto Madryn, to the foothills of the Andes takes a day. Somewhere along the road is this petrol station where they also serve coffee and tea. A little girl is telling you all kinds of events in Spanish, while her mother is serving the customers.


A remnant of the past. Still functioning, but almost gone. 




Around the station lots of things that can be useful and chickens. Also a lonely turkey.... Surviving Christmas this time.




Behind all this just empty pampas...... Even behind the horizon.
