Speaking of which ...

From the top of Cerro San Cristobal



Central Train Station - designed by Gustave Eiffel no less



Entrance to Cerro Santa Lucia (another park on a hill)







Neptune Terrace - Cerro Santa Lucia

El quiosco








Easter Island / Isla de Pascua / Rapa Nui:

Southeastern Polynesia - annexed by Chile, 3500km to the east, in 1888



Ahu Ko Te Riku







Ahu Anahena



Not all moai have the pukao on top
- thought to have been added to the moai later, perhaps as a sign of status


Ahu Akivi




Ahu Tongariki with 15 moai






















"Honest, officer - it was like this when I got here!"
Ahu Te Pito Kura








Rano Raraku











Q: Why are moai always frowning?


A: The preponderance of persistent pesky puny paparazzi posing for precious pictures - or just too many tiny tacky tourists?


    
Say hello to my little friend!


Iguazu Falls, from the Brazil side:







Movies such as Moonraker (James Bond) and The Mission (Robert De Niro) have filmed here


Airliners circle the falls before landing
