Instantly recognisable as Venice, the ICM factor on the buildings in this image hint at the very real threat that this beautiful city is sinking and that nothing is permanent. In contrast, the gondola, with people on board, depicts more stability to me, and I wonder if the romance is with Venice itself, or on a more personal level, within the boat. Perhaps we’d like to think romance is permanent, against the more transient nature of anything man made.
