I don't know that they're the most beautiful ...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Detroit isn't one of them.

I think abandoned places are indeed hauntingly beautiful. Something about the evidence of people having once been in a place who are long since gone evokes a certain feeling. That underwater Jesus is awesome.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Only with photography. In real life, they just look like dumps.

So Detroit could make it after all?  Must be that eye of the beholder 'n all.
