Summary
From the psychedelic salt mines of Yekaterinburg in Siberia to the rugged， green-tinted Copper Canyon in the Sierra Madre in Mexico， Hidden Places roams across the globe in search of hidden treasures and secret places off the beaten track。
Explore the Silfra Deep Trench in Iceland， where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet to create a remarkable rift and freshwater dive site。 Experience the weirdest of woodland walks through the Crooked Forest in Pomerania， Poland， where a grove of 400 pines is uniformly curved。 Marvel at the colorful， gold-plated temple of Doi Suthep in northern Thailand， or visit the world's highest sand dune， Grande Dune du Pilat， on the Bordeaux coast。 Each location is accompanied by a caption explaining its geography and history。 Packed with color photographs， Hidden Places ranges from the sparse landscape of the Arctic Circle to the rich rainforests of the Amazon basin。 Read this book and discover the special， secret places that will come to define your bucket list—many of which are much closer to home than you think。

In this 224-page photography book， travel writer Claudia Martin shares “strange and wonderful places that are little visited and little known。” Each location typically gets a photograph or two with an informative caption， and locations are featured from each continent except Antarctica。 The content feels a bit random， so I would have liked to read more about how these particular locations were chosen。 Maps showing where the sites are located would also have been a welcome addition。 You could use In this 224-page photography book， travel writer Claudia Martin shares “strange and wonderful places that are little visited and little known。” Each location typically gets a photograph or two with an informative caption， and locations are featured from each continent except Antarctica。 The content feels a bit random， so I would have liked to read more about how these particular locations were chosen。 Maps showing where the sites are located would also have been a welcome addition。 You could use this book to inspire future travel plans， but not much information is included about each site， just a brief paragraph。 If a photograph catches your interest， you can always research that site more yourself。 Some of these photographs certainly piqued my curiosity。 At 12 by 9 inches， this attractive hardcover book would make a wonderful gift or be an interesting addition to your coffee table。 Thanks to Amber Books for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley。 I volunteered to provide an honest review。 。。。more

This is an absolutely beautiful book featuring many， many places I never knew existed。From ever-burning craters， to pink stones， gothic castles to ancient temples and waterfalls that look so perfect you’d think they were CGI。A fascinating look at what is out there， off the beaten track and away from heavily populated areas。Each photograph is accompanied by a small text telling you what you’re looking at and giving a short history if needed。It has certainly added many places to my bucket list and This is an absolutely beautiful book featuring many， many places I never knew existed。From ever-burning craters， to pink stones， gothic castles to ancient temples and waterfalls that look so perfect you’d think they were CGI。A fascinating look at what is out there， off the beaten track and away from heavily populated areas。Each photograph is accompanied by a small text telling you what you’re looking at and giving a short history if needed。It has certainly added many places to my bucket list and given me a few I’d like to research more about。Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a chance to read this book and travel far and wide from my armchair。 。。。more
