I fell into a kind of two-dimensional surface-love with Venice for its three-dimensional depth of landscape. It seemed to represent an antithesis to some of what I find uncomfortable about Coventry. In Venice, there are no cars, whilst Coventry has alarming amounts of them. In Venice, gorgeous historical architecture is left to stand, in Coventry sound characterful buildings are pulled down and replaced with that which is generic, soulless. Venice retains its heart, celebrates its distinctive beauty.
