Sunrise and sunset in one of the most magical places in the world. I missed both…torrential rain kept me from Tongariki at sunrise and sunsets were always cloudy at Tahai. I caught dawn at Tahai a couple of mornings, however. I was all alone in that heaven. So happy for you that you made it to Rapa Nui, Fabrizio.

Thanks Julie. Sorry to hear you had clouds at sunrise and sunsets! But all the more reasons to return, right?

Sad that this is the last of your posts on Rapa Nui. I enjoyed all three. That’s a wonderful description of the night sky. My own pale-blue-dot moment, as you call it, came when hitchhiking on the back of an open truck more than thirty years ago. Like you, looking up at the milky way, I realized how deep the sky is, and how insignificant everything around us truly is.

Thanks IJ. That must’ve been quite a hitch-hike, and quite a spectacle! Was it in India?
As for posts on Rapa Nui, I do have one last hurrah… but it’s just photos. It’ll arrive sooner or later 🙂

Eucalyptus and the honey-scented yellow bush. We have all that here, and sunsets, and the diddly squat idea of it all. I’m about to post a picture of the bush today, come see if it’s the same. I’m so glad that you got to be there.

I so love your descriptions that always take me right there, and especially the reminder of how insignificant it all is. Ah sweet peace.
Such blessed lives we have.

I absolutely agree Alison, we live blessed lives. It might be my Pale Blue Dot mood or the fact that I’m changing jobs in 2 days but a relatively big screw up at work, something that normally would boil my blood, has barely registered. Doesn’t matter.
Thanks for the kind words!

And thank you for writing the stories from your journey to this remote part of the world, Fabrizio! I’ve been really enjoying your posts. Now take us to other far-flung places please.

It’s amazing how looking into a deep, dark sky can remind you how small we all are in the grand scheme of things. Especially when you realize that some of what you think are stars are actually galaxies. Seeing that from a place like Rapa Nui must have been even more intense.

Well Dave if such a sky doesn’t put one fellow back in his place in the wider scheme of things then I don’t know what will! It’s surely a sight I’d like to admire soon. Thanks for reading.

What a beautiful description to conclude your series. I loved this foray into the unknown – past those images I’ve had of Easter Island in my head. It was lovely to see it through your eyes and words, Fabrizio. Thank you.
