10 award-winning photos of hidden places around the world
10. "Alley at Birr Castle" by Vladimir Polivanov. Polivanov captured a statue on the grounds on the castle in Ireland, surrounded by fall-colored leaves.
9. "A Place to Work" by Redmere Photography. The photographer captured antique tools and rusted parts on a workbench in a barn in Nelson, Nevada. It's like someone just stopped in the middle of working and never came back.
8. "Trees take over the temples at Angkor Wat" by Kira Morris. Cambodia's famous temples were first built in the 800s and are slowly being enveloped by the jungle.
7. "St. Mary the Virgin Church, Tintern" by Guy Berresford. The ruined church in Wales was abandoned in 1977, after a fire. Volunteers make sure the gravestones go undisturbed.
6. "Hidden London" by Susan. Going by just "Susan" on Photocrowd, the photographer snuck into Aldwych Tube Station, one of London's closed underground stations.
5. "Exploring the Unknown" by Pal Szilagyi Palko. Palko, a graduate student in Romania studying geology, took this photo during an eight-day spelunking expedition.
4. "Under my umbrella... ella... ella" by Antonio Bernardino Coelho. Coelho's photo, taken in Porto, Portual, uses the bokeh effect, which makes the snail and plant in the foreground look sharp while the background is blurry.
3. "My Little House" by lostlenscap. It's a small, private, lush nook hidden away in St Augustine, Florida.
2. "Valley of the Mills" by Keith Worthington. The mills in Sorrento, Italy, were built back in the 1300s to make flour, but were abandoned in the 1940s, leading to an explosive growth in greenery.
