This photograph
was taken from Rano Raraku, the quarry
from which the maoi were carved looking
toward the Poike Peninsula. If you look
closely at the bottom of the photo, about
1/3 from the left you can see the fifteen
moai standing at Ahu Tongariki. The sun
is just beginning to climb above the ocean
and the moon was fleeting across the sky
as the ancient world awakened.
