Original Toronto Star caption: Like Seven Grim Guards these statues stand at Ahu Akivi on Easter Island; staring out over a wide and empty valley as if awaiting the return of their priests and their power. Each of them weighs 18 tons. That?s small by Easter Island standards but they loom large when a visitor creeps cautiously close.
