Looking towards Rano Raraku
Aligned
The center piece
Fading
The majestic 15
With a fallen comrade
On the lip
Tongariki
Hiding in plain sight
The path to Rano Raraku
Waiting for the sun to set
On the side
Looking up
I've fallen, and I can't get up
Give me your best pouty face
Stuck in the middle with you
Moai
With Tongariki in the distance
Looking south
The most photogenic moai
Off the beaten path
Just lounging
A field of moai

It doesn’t get much more remote, nor much more spectacular, than Easter Island, or, Rapa Nui. 3500 kilometres from the Chilean mainland, it’s one of the most remotest places on earth.
In June 2014, I had the opportunity to visit, spending several days to cycle around the island. A truly amazing experience and one of the most spectacular in South America, even though Rapa Nui is perhaps more Pacific than Latin American.
Here, find my Easter Island photos in one place, all available to purchase as prints.
