Description
Un moái (del rapanui moai, "escultura") es una estatua de piedra monolítica que sólo se encuentra en la Isla de Pascua o Rapa Nui, perteneciente a la V Región de Valparaíso, en Chile. Los moáis son el principal atractivo turístico de la Isla de Pascua, cuyos habitantes viven del turismo y la pesca.
Moai, or mo‘ai (pronounced /ˈmoʊ.aɪ/), are monolithic human figures carved from rock on the Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500.[1] Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly large heads three-fifths the size of their bodies. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna).[2] The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island, but most would be cast down during later conflicts between clans.

Muy interesante toma, me gusta el contraluz y la escena en atardecer.
