"The sea - a divided realm of politics, commerce, and exploitation, crying, pleading to Neptune and his kind."
Dr Abe V Rotor
Neptune
Junior stands proudly with his trident as he passes by his kingdom -
the sea - a mural painting by the author at his residence in Lagro, QC.

Greek mythology comes alive, the sea is full of life:
creatures in a wide range of biodiversity,
the dreaded Kraken, the resurrected Coelacanth,
ruins of technology, records of history.
Deeper than Mt Everest is high, the Marianas Trench,
craggy, eerie more than the Grand Canyon,
yet gentle as the Pacific, save Michener's Hawaii
where man and nature seek a peaceful union.
A Kingdom of legends and adventures, of Jules Verne
and Cousteau, fiction and science combined;
a divided realm of politics, commerce, exploitation,
crying, pleading to Neptune and his kind.
" The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."
Jacques Cousteau (World's famous oceanographer)
Nature's profile is rich and dynamic. It enraptures us, brings reminiscences of childhood, and re-creates the images of the Lost Paradise. It offers refuge from urban living, and recess from daily grind. It also tells us of what we are missing, or what we are going to miss, perhaps forever. The magnificent profile of nature reminds us to do our part to save Mother Earth so that her beauty and bounty are preserved and enjoyed by us and future generations. - Abercio Valdez Rotor, Ph.D.
