Explanation:
As the
New Moon's
shadow slid across the southern Pacific
on July 11, people gathered along the white, sandy
Anakena Beach on the north side of
Easter Island to watch a
total
solar eclipse.
The experience was captured in this tantalizing composite image,
constructed from a sequence of 50 consecutive exposures.
At their center is the totally eclipsed Sun surrounded by a
shimmering solar corona.
From the well chosen viewpoint, palm trees appear in silhouette
against a darkened sky and the faint light reflected in the water.
Of course,
towering above the onlookers, at the
boundaries of
land, ocean, and sky are Moai,
the island's
mysterious monolithic statues.
