Easter Island also called Rapa Nui is a beautiful actually in the middle of the still ocean.
We have been here during our trip around the world. From Chile we took a week trip to it. It is another 8 hour flight from the mainland where you only fly over the sea, so remote is this from the rest of the inhabited world.
This photo shows our favorite spot on Easter Island. We visited this place several days and stopped to look almost every time we drove by. For example, we stood here in the pouring rain. In the middle of the night waiting for the sun to rise right from behind these beautiful statues (I also have one of these pictures in my shop). But also during the setting sun like here. Where the setting sun gave a beautiful yellow glow on the moais. And luckily I was able to capture this beautifully! This photo is a cutout from a panorama of 3 photos.
