Hello,
The best example for that is probably one of the winning pictures in
Russia last year. The burning church. That was a monument which was
captured in its final moments. [1]
The Russian church has been restored long ago. The picture is not from
2011, it was taken much earlier. Indeed in Russia many monuments
disappear every year (burn or get demolished without permission /
solicited into removal from the monument list), but Saint Petersburg is
relatively good in this respect as a World Heritage site, and I do not
think any of the pictures from the last year contest represent lost
monuments.
