They look at me, a photo from Valparaiso, Central Valley

Photographer's Note

Hi,
Today, a picture from Eastern Island also called Rapa Nui or Isla de Pascua.
Eastern Island is on the Pacific Ocean at 4000 kilometers from Chile. In this island, they are a lot of statues called "Moaпs". Moais are very big. Their size varies from 2.5 to 9 m, for an average weight of 14 tons. We don't know why "Pascuans People" makes more and more Moaпs and increasingly large. A lot of historians think that the construction of the statues use the resources of the island and kill this civilization.
Hope you like it.

La couleur rend les statues austиres et mystйrieuses...

Bien vu

Hi Champion,
I think it is hard to find people who have been to Easter Island! I went to Chile few times, but somehow I never managed to get there. Fine composition with nice close-up on those statues. Great TE spirit!
Cheers,
Alon

Hello M. tour du monde,
je trouve le format carrй trиs adaptй а cette photo.
De plus, ta transmoration en b&w est trиs bien faite et cette ambiance un peu dramatique va bien а ces statues.
Bien vu
