A 19th century marble statue of Neptune stands on Neptuno Wharf, looming over the Malecon promenade at the entrance to Havana Bay. I photographed it from behind, in order to include a setting moon floating next to the raised trident. Meanwhile, a rising sun paints the marble statue in golden tones. Caught between the sun and the moon, this Roman god of water and the sea symbolizes Cuba’s identity as an island in the Gulf of Mexico.
