Most extraordinary of all are the photos of Earth they captured from the windows of their spacecraft. In this image, clouds swirl over Australia and Oceania, while the rest of the planet is shrouded in the darkness of night — all viewed over the rocky craters of the far side of the moon.  A photo project documents an ancient horse breed in Turkey’s most famed landscape For her upcoming book, The Untold Story of the Yılkı Horses, Turkish photographer Nur Tucker travelled to the volcanic landscapes of Cappadocia over multiple years to shoot its herds of semi-wild horses. Known as Yılkı, they roam freely through its canyons and over its dusty plains. Once domestic working horses, they were traditionally released when no longer needed, a practice rooted in centuries of Anatolian horse culture. “One image captures a lone horseman guiding them through golden light,” says Nur, “while other shots reveal how the animals move as a close herd, finding strength and security together amid Cappadocia’s surreal fairy chimneys.” Related: How to spend a weekend in Cappadocia DID YOU KNOW? The world’s first portable digital camera was invented by an employee of Kodak in 1975. It was the size of a toaster, weighed 3.6kg and took 23 seconds to capture a picture. The first shot taken on it was a portrait of a colleague.  New book reveals Italy through the eyes of locals How to show one of the world’s most photographed destinations in a new light? That was the challenge set to 20 Italian photographers, each tasked with shooting one region for How Italy Feels. The result is a 288-page coffee-table book that reveals less familiar sides to the country, from the top of the boot to its heel. Italy’s extraordinary landscapes are all here — from the shadowy peaks of the Dolomites to the sun-scorched coast of Sicily — but so too are little vignettes of local life. As we travel from north to south, we see sunbathers by Lake Maggiore, aperitivo hour in Milan, religious festivals in Sardinia and beach time in Puglia, presenting the country in all its complexity and joy. How Italy Feels by Italy Segreta, £40.  Chimi Dem is one of the last two makers of the signature conical hats worn by women in the village of Laya in Bhutan. She creates roughly 700 each year, weaving them out of bamboo, then stringing them with fine coloured beads and topping them with a painted spike. Every woman in the community has one.
