Marchand & Meffre Photography | The Ruins of Detriot

"Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time: being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things.Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state." - Marchand & Meffre

Oobjects

Oobject is one of those sites where you can end up somewhere very different then where you began. I found these shots of the 2008 Beijing BMX track under the link "12 examples of decayed olympic sites". Money well spent huh? Check this out along with the rest of the site.
