Alternatives to the Automobile

One is irresistibly reminded of the crash-n-burn trajectory of the civilisation which flourished (for a while!) on Rapa Nui. These images are my own wordless commentary on the parallel between ourselves and the status-conscious Easter Islanders.

Here's a "modern moai" for use as a small sticker or web image. There is also a higher-quality PNG version

Here's a "postcard from Easter Island." There is also a higher-quality PNG version

And another postcard: and its higher-quality PNG version
