Plane and sunset over Easter Island
Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui, is most famous for its large moai statues that were carved by native peoples between 1250 and 1500. Some moai had pukao (or topknots) on their heads; these were carved out of red scoria, a very light rock from a quarry at Puna Pau. Red itself is considered a sacred color in Polynesia. The added pukau suggest a further status to the moai

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui. The image showcases a breathtaking sunset over the island, with a plane gracefully soaring through the colorful sky. Easter Island is renowned for its iconic moai statues, which were meticulously carved by native people between 1250 and 1500. These magnificent stone figures hold great cultural significance and are a testament to the island's rich history. Some moai featured pukao, or topknots, on their heads. Crafted from red scoria - a lightweight rock found at Puna Pau quarry - these pukao added an extra layer of prestige to the already majestic moai. The vibrant red color holds deep spiritual meaning in Polynesia, further enhancing the sacred aura surrounding these ancient sculptures. This particular photograph beautifully captures one such moai statue called Ahu Nau Nau against the backdrop of an enchanting sunset. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but feel transported back in time to witness Easter Island's past glory and marvel at its remarkable artistry. Phil Marion's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates the essence of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
