Kneeling Moai at Rano Raraku, Easter Island

Easter Island (Rap Nui) is one of those places I’d gladly return to. Full of mystery, peaceful and isolated. This Moai (the name for the rock statues everywhere on the island) was one of my favourites. It is the only kneeling Moai on the island, found on the outer side of Rano Raraku crater. The way the clouds are formed in the sky, made me think this Moai was deep in thought…the stories he would tell, if only he could talk.
