Restored moai stand watch at Ahu Tongariki on the east side of the volcanic island. Lined up on a platform with their backs facing the Pacific Ocean, the monolithic statues wear hats on top of their carved, minimalist human faces.
Photo is shot from camera attached to a kite and triggered by remote before the use of drones.
