French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have captured the "beautiful, tragic decline" of Detroit in this photo essay of startling urban decay. They said of their imagery :
"Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes...the volatile result of the change of eras and the fall of empires. This fragility leads us to watch them one very last time: to be dismayed, or to admire, it makes us wonder about the permanence of things."The website, and more photography, of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre is here
