Captured: The Ruins of Detroit Posted Feb 07, 2011 Share This Gallery inShare850 Up and down Detroit’s streets, buildings stand abandoned and in ruin. French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre set out to document the decline of an American city. Their book “The Ruins of Detroit“, a document of decaying buildings frozen in time, was published in December 2010. From the photographers’ website: 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. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.

Mopeds in Mykonos | Travel for Love I have a friend getting married soon who’s honeymooning on the Greek Islands. Her planning is reminding me of the only time I’ve been to Greece, on a Mediterranean cruise with my mom, and one particularly fun day we spent on Mykonos. Mom and I learned quickly that we did not want to be anywhere near the cruise ship tours where you get herded around town with 20 other people following a guide all day. First we rode to the main area of Mykonos Town and visited the windmills and Little Venice. It was a beautiful day and as we started getting out of town it was a blast to feel the wind in our faces as we scooted over the hills of the island. The Mykonos countryside was just gorgeous. Eventually we stopped at one of the beaches and lounged in the sun for a couple hours, enjoying the peace of having the place all to ourselves. Riding a scooter is the perfect way to explore Mykonos.
