Photo Gallery: The Ruins of Detroit 3:00 pm Monday Jan 3, 2011 by Caroline <http://flavorwire.com/author/caroline/> Stanley It has been a while since we've indulged in our obsession with photography of abandoned places, but thanks to The Ruins of Detroit <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/3869300426/flavorpill0e-20> , a book by Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre, we've given in. "It seems like Detroit has just been left to die," Marchand recently explained to The Guardian <http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/jan/02/detroit-ruins-marchand-m effre-photographs-ohagan> . "Many times we would enter huge art deco buildings with once-beautiful chandeliers, ornate columns and extraordinary frescoes, and everything was crumbling and covered in dust, and the sense that you had entered a lost world was almost overwhelming. In a very real way, Detroit is a lost world - or at least a lost city where the magnificence of its past is everywhere evident."
