Big Sur, California
Big Sur by Jack Kerouac

This novel is directly based on Kerouac’s own experiences in Big Sur, where he went to escape the fast-paced lifestyle of the city. Protagonist Jack Duluoz doesn’t enjoy being in the limelight and is able to find peace—however temporarily—in this mountainous, coastal region.

From the book: “On soft Spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars — Something good will come out of all things yet — And it will be golden and eternal just like that — There’s no need to say another word.”

From Me: On a light breezed sunny afternoon one day, Me and my family had noticed one beautiful view driving past The view was bright but would fade to a darker shade wonderfully. The sun would shine on the rocks just like a lightbulb on another object. Can't forget about the wavy calm water that would approach the sand every so often. The best thing about it was being there would just calm you down realising how beautiful Nature can be
