    Silver in Nature / Astrophotography

For more than a thousand years, majestic, mighty giants have stood on Easter Island. There are about 400 of them in total. Almost all of them stand on the shore and look into the interior of the island, but only these seven statues stand almost in the center of the island and their gaze is turned to the ocean. Since ancient times, the development of mankind has been in harmony with nature,and these majestic statues were witnesses of this. Now they, together with the inhabitants of a distant galaxy unknown to us, look with regret at the current relationship between nature and humanity.
