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
