A seagull posing in the Bay of Silence

Un gabbiano in posa in Baia del Silenzio

A seagull posing in the Bay of Silence.
Last summer (actually, even the one before) I took several photos in the Bay of Silence with the Gopro and the Dome (that device that looks like a bubble that allows photos half in and half out of the water) and, while I was swimming to go a little towards the Ex Annunziata I photographed this beautiful seagull that was blissfully sitting on one of the boats moored in the bay.

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante in February

La Baia del Silenzio di Sestri Levante a febbraio

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante in February.
There are times of the year and certain days that the Bay is even more beautiful.
Like the day I took these photos (and many others that I will slowly add); it was February 24, 2024 and it was a truly beautiful morning with the sun behind us.

The Bay of Fables in Sestri Levante in March.
A couple of photos of the splendid bay (the less famous than my Sestri) in the last month of March.
I love summer but the sea is very beautiful even in winter.

The tower of Palazzo Fascie-Rossi from Piazza Bo

La torre di Palazzo Fascie-Rossi da piazza Bo a Sestri Levante

The tower of Palazzo Fascie-Rossi from Piazza Bo in Sestri Levante.
One of my favorite architectural subjects in Sestri Levante is Palazzo Fascie-Rossi and its tower.
Also because it can be seen and photographed from many points in the center of my town.
This time I took the photo, with the telephoto lens, from the walk near Piazza Bo.

The building of the Bank of Chiavari in the Republic Square

Il palazzo del Banco di Chiavari in piazza della Repubblica a Sestri Levante

The Banco di Chiavari building in Piazza della Repubblica in Sestri Levante.
In Piazza Sant’Antonio, we can say the center of Sestri Levante’s traffic, in addition to the recent roundabout (for about fifteen years, before that there was a nice traffic light, do you remember?) there is also this beautiful building which is the headquarters, on the ground floor, of the Sestri agency of Banco di Chiavari and the Ligurian Riviera.

Here is where this building is located:

The Banco di Chiavari e della Riviera Ligure was founded in 1870 by a group of enterprising operators from Chiavari with the name of “Banco di Sconto del Circondario di Chiavari”, with headquarters in the same Tigullian town in the province of Genoa. The first important date was 1904 when the first branch of the new credit institution was inaugurated in nearby Rapallo, followed by others, including in 1909 the one in Varese Ligure, the first in the province of La Spezia.

The characteristic Penisola Levante street in Sestri Levante

La caratteristica via Penisola Levante a Sestri Levante

The characteristic Via Penisola Levante in Sestri Levante.
One of the most beautiful streets in Sestri, the one that leads first to the small walk of the Baia del Silenzio and then, continuing, goes up the Penisola (hence the name) and arrives at the church of San Nicolò and the Castelli.
I used the telephoto for this which is a little squashed but the effect is desired!

The houses in Via Nazionale near the underpass

Le case in via Nazionale a Sestri Levante presso il sottopassaggio

The houses in via Nazionale in Sestri Levante near the underpass.
When I want to go downtown on foot (or by car) from my house, there are three options: either you go through Mandela Park, or via Antica Romana Occidentale, or you go through via Nazionale.
Going through via Nazionale, when you are about to arrive in the center, you come across the railway underpass and, immediately after, a series of beautiful colored houses that I tried to emphasize in these photos.
This underpass has been there for as long as I can remember, but before, if I'm not mistaken, there was a level crossing with a small pedestrian underpass (always flooded when it rained).

Do you have any memories about it?

The Bay of Silence at the end of May 2023

La Baia del Silenzio a fine maggio 2023

The Bay of Silence at the end of May 2023.
Last year I was at home in one of the best times to enjoy the Bay of Silence: the end of May and the beginning of June.
The weather is already warm but there is not yet that summer crowd that fills the beach (or at least during the week there is not).
The best time as I said.
