Golfo Paradiso (Heaven Gulf)

Santa Giulia church, Lavagna, Liguria (Italy).

This gulf is named Tigullio (from Sestri Levante to Portofino), and it is part of a greater gulf named 'Golfo Paradiso' (Heaven gulf). Golfo Paradiso goes from Cinque Terre to Genoa town, and it is famous because of it is a place very frequented by dolphins and whales.

There is here a special place where I usually wait for the sunset: Santa Giulia church.
This tower bell is like a finger pointing towards the horizon, always inspiring us to go beyond.
"And my teacher taught me how difficult it is to find the dawn inside the dusk" (Franco Battiato).

Here a sentinel waiting for the coming dark. I like the contrast between the yellow light inside the tower bell and the vastity of the blue sea and the red/yellow colors of last sunset lights.

The penisula you see in follow pic is a part of Sestri Levante town, the place where I was born:

Finally, my hometown, Chiavari. In the background you see Portofino mountain, a special protected place where you can hike and discover a wonderful natural park.
