Some more pictures from inside the abandoned Estancia San Gregorio - Strait of Magellan, Patagonia In my opinion this abandoned room is a piece of artwork itself. I know, sometimes I have strange thoughts ;-) See PiP!

I post a series of buildings now, not that spectacular, but I want do document this abandoned Estancia, which will probably some day will disapperar. Estancia San Gregorio is a relic of the 19th-century Menéndez wool empire in Chilean Patagonia, a abandoned compound of once yellow buildings lining Ruta 255 about 125km northeast of Punta Arenas. San Gregorio reached its peak between 1910 and 1930 producing, along with wool, mutton, hides, and tallow.
