I'll get back to the cold pictures soon, but here's something a bit different: on our way back from Antarctica we spent 5 days on Easter Island (part of Chile, half-way between Tahiti and South America).

Whoops: that was more than 4.

The green eyed god raises its ugly head

Nice shots. What a marvelous place.

OK, now we are really getting envious David.
What an awsome place.

Very nice shots.

When I was first at Easter Island in 1980, the airport was an open-air shack, and the duty free stores at the airport were about half a dozen women, each with their own big stone selling their wares. Quite humorous.

Excellent.

The first stone head looks quite different in design from the other ones (the ones we usually see).

Excellent work again Dave. I love the composition in the 1st one. The arrangement of the clouds with respect to the statue is stunning. Also love the silhouetted statues and the horses. The horses photo has a great motion feeling.
