Old pictures with palms

[Gaston in Argentina]

Pictures rescued from my greathfather photo album.-

My greathfather had an farm at the west of the Cordoba province, his family land was called "Estancia Cacapiche" cattle  breeding there, was plenty of TRITHRINAX CAMPESTRIS palmstrees. Here some scanned pictures rescued from his photo album.-

Both pictures taken around 1933 but i think those palms are still alive.-

Cheers. Gaston

Je! Paul, those pants were and are tipical of here, gauchos pants for ride horses  and are named "bombachas of gauchos", very confortable to use them, (the mans).- Yet are much sold and very used by people in the fields and some in the cities (i got one). In the mountains people yet use the horse for cattle breeding, as your "cowboys" here theres a special relationship bethween mans and horses.-

.- The pictures are of cartoon but digitalized with a single scanner.-

Zac, got more, will post them ASAP.-  Cheers. Gaston

Such a beautiful country, if you know the places where the pics were taken it would be very interesting to take new photos and to show a 70 year time lapse.

This is a great topic Gaston, and the mature Trithrinax looks monumental. This is a species which I haven't had luck here yet, past the seedling stage. Alberto has sent me Buriti palito seeds (Trithri achontocoma, or brasiliensis), they sprouted but later suicided.  

I met a nice lady from Córdoba here in Recife last week and she said great things about your province countryside, trying to talk my wife into visiting them there with a later stop in Bariloche for some snow. Keep some bombachas ready for me, just in case... :cool:

Please let's see more old palm related photos, folks... I'll try to research a few local antiques and post here later too.

That's brilliant Gaston, here's one, well actually it was too quick to be captured, it's a palm, I just palmed off this guy in a rugby league game circa mid 70s and raced away to score in the corner.
