I certainly agree that Seaman san knows the power of the ocean well as he ever served in ROC navy and international merchandise feet. However, the ex-USS “SARSFIELD (DD-837)” became 德陽艦(DD-25) in 1977 and decommissioned in 2005 now is a Museum ship in An-Ping, Tainan must experienced way more intriguing muscle of seas in her 6 decades service in two navies. Don’t feel odd for her 4” gun and other up-to-date gadgets on the deck when you visit her.

Just about few hundred meters away there stands a giant 16 m (total 20 m) high Ma-Ju (maiden 林默娘) statue. It’s interesting to see two unrelated or even contrary objects appear in neighboring area. The water (or sea) accidentally brought them together. It’s the power of water as you have professed.

三叉戢也會上岸的。

Everything has its dark side. ;-p (闇黑面也有。)

Dear s-Khoan san, Thanks for the clip; it’s penetrating! It seems you have a fond of the character of Neptune / Poseidon and fascinate on the power of the trident, and the philosophy behind it. You make me think of “濁水溪畔的高中生” san, a gentleman of wise。 Somewhere in this forum one still finds his words about Neptune: “Neptune 是羅馬神話中的海神和水神，相對應於希臘神話中的波塞頓（Poseidon），亦被稱為大地的震撼者（地震）、大地的佔有者。他的坐騎是白馬駕駛的黃金戰車，手執三叉戟，這也是海王星的天文學符號。” “濁水溪畔的高中生” san also introduced the famous paint of Rubens’ ‘The Union of Earth and Water”:  ▲ Peter Paul Rubens（1577–1640）, 《The Union of Earth and Water (Antwerp and the Scheldt)》, 1618, Oil on canvas, 222.5x180.5 cm, State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg 【轉貼博物館官網說明】：The theme of the elements, traditional to 16th- and 17th-century Flemish painting, gained new meaning in Rubens‘ work: Rubens‘ contemporaries interpreted the alliance of Cybele, Goddess of Earth, and Neptune, as the important alliance of Flanders and the sea, the River Scheldt and the city of Antwerp. “印象中，記得有位法國的藝術評論家說過：Rubens的作品表面上塗著一層天主教的聖油，然而骨子裏卻是異教徒……”嘻!

>It seems you have a fond of the character of Neptune / Poseidon and fascinate on the power of the trident, and the philosophy behind it. Why not? Poseidon Control typhoons too. ^^

Now you can watch his son in action in the film. However, all gods considered, Poseidon doesn‘t seem so major. (The third from the left of the third row.)

“did you photoshop the picture in R 136 ? ” ==> No, it’s from the follows you can compare “It‘s not really out of VIR.” ==> you may be right!

Sailor‘s a pretty good photographer. --------------------- Poseidon is also capable of summoning the Kraken.

My poor browser often failed to reveal Sailor‘s nice shots, that’s why I said “you used to see” instead of “you see”! “Poseidon is also capable of summoning the Kraken.”  You’re quite right. He who pays no respect to him get punished. Poseidon commands all sea monsters in his dispose. Giant octopus is just a form of the krakens and the one tourists see at the Piazza Navona Neptune fountain is a companion/attaché to Neptune. Simply like dolphins, seahorses, tritons and sealymphs. A pair of sweet American sisters walked out for their camera after getting helped at the fountain Piazza Navona is gorgeous and always congested with tourists. I spent times there every time I visited the city.

R157, Pitchfork (乾草叉) 是魔鬼的工具; 而 Trident (三叉戢) 是海神的武器. 三叉戢 尖端帶倒鉤, 是戰鬥的武器. 乾草叉 不見得三叉, 有4叉 5叉的, 稍有彎曲. 功用是挑送乾草. (想像, 乾草叉如果帶倒鉤, 就不方便把乾草送開了.) 三叉戢:

Tridents that aren’t call Trident. The Trident of a musical conductor is called a (conducting) wand. The Trident of a Nazi general was called a ceremonial/commanding wand The Trident of Cinderella‘s god mother Is called a magic wand The Trident of a Ohio class sub Is called a missile :) 〜〜〜 Just to name a few, there are lots more ~~ My point is that the content and context of “Trident” could be made broader or be generalized. ^_^

Talking about power, let‘s not forget Holly potter‘s little friend, the elder wand.

LUMOS!

Back to Trident that isn’t called Trident: The only Roman Ocean who holds no Trident The Fontana di Trevi or Trevi Fountain is probably the most famous and highly visited fountain in all of Rome. This beautiful monument dominates the small Square of the same name. The impressive central figure of the monument, of course, is Neptune. He rides a shell-shaped chariot that is pulled by two sea horses, each guided by a Triton. Interestingly, in his hand is not his hallmarked Trident but a wand in act of command. The whole group of his passage were sculpted by Pietro Bracci. In the first image below on his left hand side is a statue representing Abundance. Together with the one on the right Salubrity (Health) both were the work of Filippo della Valle. The girls just finished their coin tossing; each vowed would come back someday again ^_^

How about this Neptune?

『WOW. You know them, or you are one of them?』 『Let me guess... -_~』 We had brief chat with 〜〜 That was what they told me what they have wished while throwing coins over their shoulder

Probably not getting there in proper time, I found Piazza del Popolo was rather noisy and clumsy. At least when viewed west from the balcony terrace of Pincio. Piazza del Popolo in dusk with ugly tents and mass for some activities on going. However, the great dome of Basilica di San Pietro & the Church of San Gioacchin were seen from the city’s skyline which is impressive. The Fontana della Dea di Roma (opposit to the Fontana del Nettuno on the western side of the square) Egyptain lion fountain and the terrazza del Pincio at the back The obelisk and the twin churches of S. Maria di Montesanto and S. Maria dei Miracoli Handsome Italian mount police or cavalrymen; I am not sure which. Porta del Popolo, leaving the square through this gate for my hotel. 881, bye-bye!
