Pastel Town by the Sea

A surreal scene featuring a pastel, retro aesthetic. In the foreground, a teal vintage bicycle rests against a lavender bench on a cobblestone path. Next to the bench, a person is reading a book under a mid-century modern street lamp. In the background, there's a row of pastel-colored townhouses and a distant ocean with gentle waves. The sky is a soft peach with wispy pink clouds. A small hot air balloon drifts in the upper left corner, enhancing the whimsical atmosphere.
