Life in Punta Arenas (2)

she was selling fish and rabbits from her stand in downtown Punta Arenas , Chile - our southernmost stop in South America .... and she was very proud :-)))
Punta Arenas is the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel. Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of European immigrants, mainly from Croatia and Russia attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s.

    elle n'a pas l'air d'avoir très chaud, ce n'est pas drôle de faire les marchés quand il fait froid, amitiés, Josiane

    Looks like, as if it was very cold over there,- the way the fish trader is dressed. Interesting pictures from a region of the world,- very far away from us!
    Kind regards,

    Ja, ich kann ihren Stolz nachvollziehen. Frischen Fisch, Kaninchen und dann eine Waage und Einschlagpapier!! Es ist alles vorhanden, was einen Marktstand auszeichnet!
    Allerdings fehlt hier die Kühlung - ich weiß ja nicht, welche Temperaturen dort geherrscht haben.... ;-)
    Eine feine aufnahme hast Du hier gemacht! LG! a.

    Excellente scène de rue...! Vendre du poisson et du lapin en même temps, ce n'est pas banal. J'aime beaucoup la balance...! Bravo et amitiés
