Soft Rain: Detroit goes Feral


The photographer James Griffioen has been documenting the beautiful waste that is Detroit: abandoned homes and workplaces being reclaimed by vegetation.


This photo in particular reminded me of Sarah Teasdale's poem, "There will come soft rain":

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly.

And Spring herself when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

What has this got to do with biking? Nothing. Oh wait, there's a biker in one of the photos.
