    There is beauty in destruction, but in any case are fantastic pictures.

    Beautiful photography. Some of those images are just so sad to see. Great architecture wasting away...

    When I first visited Detroit years ago I was asked by a local what I had seen in Detroit so far. It was like 1am, so the first thing that came to my mind was "Ruins". The entire room had a good laugh, but it was a truthful assessment of the city's state.

    Awesome pictures, at any rate.
