a very spiritual place. They told me not to go there after sunset, because of the spirits....I ignored and one hour after sunset I was running back to my car as fast as possible....

Very Nice!

I was there in June and July of 1981 with Dr. Georgia Lee (UREP).

A Rapanui chicken baked in clay the traditional way (umu tahu) along with the proper rituals might be sufficient to appease the spirits.
 
Excellent image, and if a stone head can be said to be brooding, this one appears to be doing so. And, as for the 'running back to my car as possible' comment, that's a loaded comment to just leave dangling.

My favorite, to me that speaks the loudest. Very well done!

Rapa Nui! wow you have been to the most remote place on earth! This is a very powerful shot! the upward gaze of the figure in the background really makes this picture. Have you seen Michael Kenna's Easter island photographs? He published a book just called Easter Island. I think you will appreciate it.
