Now I’m not really a spiritual man but there is something about Coventry Cathedral that moves me in ways that other religious spaces doesn’t.  Whether it is because this is perhaps the finest installation of post war British art or whether because it was all built at one the everything has harmony with one another or whether the John Piper Baptistery window is the closest thing I have ever seen to a human depiction of the Devine or none of those things.  I just find the place a wonderful place.  If you ever get the chance you really should go there I think you will find it worth it.

One other thing I discovered whilst wondering through the cavenous space – the limitation of the iPhone 5s camera.  It is great in half decent sunlight but when dealing with the dime lighting of the cathedral it just gave up the ghost.  Still now I know and with a little work in Lightroom I was able to recover most of the detail.
