I love the concept of beauty in decay and think these images truly are beautiful. I think that nature adds a level of imperfection over time that man can’t replicate, this imperfection is natural and amazing to see. The way these images were done, the artists were able to capture the inherent splendor in the current state of these structures. It’s as though nature has put its own spin on what the original people who constructed these sites intended. There is also beauty in the sadness that results from knowing that these places were once filled with people and emaculate.
