A seaside town: Inspiration of DH Lawrence, Mary Shelly, Lord Byron, Keats and Virginia Wolfe

These handmade Windchimes from the serene hills of Kasuli, close to my city, Chandigarh which will chime in the village below, creating a link between Chandigarh and this seaside town I describe below. 

A moveable feast, the boats bobbing, the fishnets, the molo (the port), the evening apertivo by the boats with soul stirring music, the hydrangea bushes, the hillside slopes, the fuschia pink buongavilla creepers in the Castello, stories of MADI and the youth hostel in the Castello from the flower child era, Mary Shelley place of inspiration, Keats and Bryron's poetry, and the modem artists in the place: born in mumbai, and grew up in Lerici, intellectual, smart, questioning, and talented: Jaya Cozzani, whose work is immortalized in the 12th century castello's alleyway. 
    Introduced to this place, by chance, when I came in search of answers to the one person who had caught my heart, and stirred my soul, and it's smitten me. 
    As a designer, my creative eye, and creative overload of peace, tranquility and 
Creativity. Intellectual conversations, the turquoise sea, the flowers, the seagulls add a magical dimension to existence. Mixing the mystical with the magical, Punjab's beauty and the gulf of the poets's serenity will bring new creativity out of me. There is a reason for everything that happens in life. 
     Should I complete my half-written novel, should I design a line inspired by the paintings of acquarelli di Jaya? 
      Why am I here ? 
Seagull gazing in the evening sun. 
    
The creepers reminding of the flower child era, parties at the Youth Hostel 
run by a lady called 'MADI'. The castle was opened especially for me, thanks to 
my artist friend, Jaya. 

    Witnessed a wedding at the Chiesa Stella Maris. Blessed the newly wedding couple
   With happiness and joy ahead. 

The view from the gate. A magical secret garden.
