Ok... There is nothing crafty or cute about this but these photos are so beautiful. Akin to the Ruins in Rome only these are of the (late) 20th Century kind. I am from a suburb of Detroit so I grew up seeing some of this happen...
Detroit was at one time a healthy, bustling, sophisticated city. Whenever I try to describe it to someone I compare it to Beirut.... I discovered this book
The Detroit Ruins photographs by
Yves Marchand and Romain Maffre. Here are examples of their photography from the book:
 |
| Denist Office David Broderick Tower |
 |
| National Bank of Detroit aka NBD |
 |
| Atrium Farwell Building |
I know they have an eerie, beautiful quality but these make me sad. I went to grad school in Ann Arbor and did my internship in Detroit. It needs saving badly.

I have an incredible book called Beirut's memory and it has this exact same feel.
