Also here's a few of mine. Urban decay is pretty abundant in Detroit as many people know, but I try not to take too many pictures of it since it's what everybody already has seen. I've never gone inside any of the places but then I don't really feel a need to.
Great photos! Abandoned places have a mysterious aura usually and it is interesting to think especially with the houses why it was abandoned and how former residents may have lived and also the tranquility of theses places. Urban exploration and structure hacking deserve more attention.
Interestingly, there is a boom-bust mining town in Ontario called Wawa with some abandonned buildings. The roadside motels seem to be the hardest hit, and there seem to be rather few abandonned homes considering how much the town's population declined from its peak. Wawa and other communities in Northern Ontario have a lot of abandonned buildings along the highways, mostly motels but also some gas stations and restaurants.
There's a link to a flickr page of these pics on that blog. The images are larger and clearer there. It looks like something out of a Nine Inch Nails music video. Hard to believe these pics aren't staged, they're seriously un-real.
Here's something I came across today.
Kinda spooky.

I saw a documentary about an African American woman who went throughout the city of Detroit and took
some of those pictures. How very sad to see. Within 100 years one of American's finest cities
and now we see ruins of its former splendor. It reminds me of some science fiction novels and films.
This is where we need urban pioneers to invest as well as historic preservationists.
Awsome pictures, i see if i can find any around my place.
