Now we will see some of those Moai.
Here we see a group of five.
A closer view of the same group.
A group of seven in terrible lighting.
When I took this shot, I had two witnesses who will swear that I caught that bird in that spot. Absolutely no Photoshopping.
In this group of seven you can see the topknots. Remember, they represent hair, no hats.
The group os fifteen is the most famous. Also, in this particular photo you can have some idea of what the island looks like.
Closer to the group of fifteen. And there's another statue that resembles the caricatures of that long ago president once again.
I don't believe those horses were as moved by the sight of those statues as my wife and I were.
Here they are on a different day with better light. Notice that one of them has a topknot.
Farewell to Rapa Nui.

Well, freediver808, I certainly hope your bucket list works out and you get there. It was worth it when we did, and my wife did it with a broken wrist.

Thanks, NMGal. It's nice to know someone out there is always looking at my stuff.
