Easter Island has been on the news the last few days with the discovery of a new (smaller) statue so this image grabbed me immediately. Just so beautiful!! Appreciate your work, your messages, your imagination...often so otherworldly. A big favorite!
Hartmut Jager replied:
πΈ - Thank You LENORE for your most kind and appreciated words. Yes it is quite a bit odd that the Easter Island people made small statues as well. Perhaps their wars and later society and ecological collapse had something to do with it? More Rapa Nui Puzzles ! - π€ -

What profound thoughts pass through the mind of the watcher? Amazing.
Hartmut Jager replied:
Thank You JOHN for your 'Amazing' compliment! - Alas, judging by their demise - it seems that not much thinking passed through the minds of the Easter Island folks - ( ...and we seem to be going the same way in our thoughtless disrespecting nature ! ) -

Thank You Very MuchGun for your valuable comment. Especially with a twittering Twit likeTrump around, the danger of such a man made catastrophy repeating itself is a worrying scenario.
