Photo by @andreabruce | Winter in Kabul, Afghanistan, can be beautiful yet deathly cold, especially for the thousands of people displaced by war living in camps on the outskirts of the city, mostly from warmer areas of Afghanistan. Here, Ibrahim holds his youngest son outside a mud hut where he lives with his wife and 11 children. The same camp buried at least two children who died due to the freezing temperatures that week a few years ago. #afghanistan #winter @noorimages

Inuit kayaking rolling was done to recover from a capsize during kayak-hunting. It has since evolved into a national sport representing Greenland’s Inuit heritage.

There Should Be Salmon… | Photograph by Douglas Croft (@douglascroftimages)

“A Spirit bear paces up and down a stream that should be full of water and salmon at this time of year,” writes #YourShotPhotographer Douglas Croft. “There has been a severe drought in the rainforest and the need for rain is immense. The whole ecosystem depends on good salmon runs and so far, those numbers are as low as the rainfall totals.” This photo was selected for the October 12, 2018 edition of our Photos of the Week series.

“This moment feels like pure magic to me Douglas. I love how the bear’s white fur is so stark against the lush green background while the perfect little rim-lights on her fur. I can’t get over how lovely the dappled light is in this forest. So beautifully done, thank you for sharing.” — @natgeoyourshot Associate Photo Editor Kristen McNicholas (@kemcnicholas)
No matter how many batches she bakes, Ran (@konel_bread) gets excited every time she slices into a fresh loaf of bread. “I’m nervous every time!” says Ran, who lives in Tokyo.
Inspired by rolls of sushi sliced to reveal images on the inside, Ran started baking her bread in 2010 when she became pregnant with her son. “First I make the ordinary bread dough, and then I divide it and add colors to create the design,” says Ran, who uses natural ingredients like vegetables and cocoa to achieve the different colors. Today, her bread designs are inspired by everything from pop culture characters to her son’s drawings, and she teaches others how to make their own loaves in her baking school and with her published cookbook.
Join Ran in her Tokyo kitchen to see how she makes her bread, today on our story and on our IGTV channel. To watch IGTV, update your app now, then look for the new icon in the top right corner of feed.
Next in my series of under visited places is Sukhothai! 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sukhothai is the former imperial capital of the Sukhothai Empire. The ruins of the capital can be found in the historical park of the same name just outside of the modern city of Sukhothai.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sukhothai is located approximately halfway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Despite being situated between two of the most popular destinations in Thailand, Sukhothai gets very few visitors in comparison. Most people either fly or take a train, which skips Sukhothai entirely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is really too bad because Sukhothai is an amazing place. I’ve often described it as a smaller, cleaner version of Angkor, Cambodia. There are almost 200 ruins spread over 70 square kilometers. There are very few visitors to the park and you can stroll about the grounds historical park is which only a few square kilometers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The park has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of the most significant historical sites in Thailand. It think it is a superior visit to Ayutthaya which is usually crowded with visitors on day trips from Bangkok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I visited I pretty much had the park to myself. You can walk amongst the temple ruins or you can rent a bike. They have paved paths that you can ride on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The easiest way to get to Sukhothai is either by bus or train, from Bangkok or Chiang Mai. I recommend people stop here if they are going between the two cities as it is one place in the country which should not be missed.
