Amidst the enchanting Old Town of Gdansk, Poland, in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, stands the iconic Neptune's Fountain. As twilight descends, the February sign of Pisces illuminates the fountain, bringing to life the fantasy of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Meanwhile, in Western Australia, divers gather precious pearl-oysters, reminiscent of the Duke of York's Order of the Equatorial Shave, an ancient tradition symbolizing the shaving of a sailor's beard upon crossing the equator for the first time. In a world of imagination, Neptune, the majestic ruler of the seas, is depicted in various forms, from the Neptune's Grotto in the garden of House ter Meer in Maarssen, The Netherlands, to the fantastic illustrations of Neptune with a baby in Andrea Doria's 1584 book, "Les Voyages. " As we explore the depths of the ocean and the depths of our imagination, we are reminded of the wonders that lie beneath the surface.
