Speaking of which ...

From the top of Cerro San Cristobal
Central Train Station - designed by Gustave Eiffel no less

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
