Photography contest - abandoned beauty
Please read the CONTEST GUIDELINES before participating in this contest.
Contest Goal:
Often, especially in this day and age with such a flimsy economy, many cities landscapes are being torn apart due to the abandonment of property. This leads to boarded up buildings, with structures ripped to shreds, completely devoid of humanity. However, with nature left as the only life these areas are graced with, comes a certain element of beauty. To see the sheer chaos that takes place when a piece of architecture has been left to fend for itself against vandalism, weather, and a lack of authority makes for truly wondrous images. Show us your best shot of this type of abandoned beauty.

My sister has invited me to get over there and do some nighttime photography. (2 years and 124 days ago) k5683: nighttime photography in Detroit? Whoa you are brave! lol I live in MI also.

(2 years and 121 days ago) friiskiwi: I understood this to be about abandoned buildings, I now start seeing some lovely shots of abandoned things. I feel that should be left for an other contest.
