The Blue Mosque — or more properly, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque — in Istanbul is a remarkable sight. I really wish I’d had more time to actually appreciate the sight of it; sadly, we were with a tour group that pretty much had to rush through everything (in part because of a woman who seemed to have overlooked the fact that the tour involved, y’know, walking, and complained and dragged her feet the whole way through).

I was just there! It was pretty impressive indeed.

I saw that! I envy you having the time to see Istanbul properly.

This is beautifully and dramatically framed.

I've had to break myself of the habit of always going for the straight-on centered shots, because often they aren't the best approach. This one, though, was the kind of thing that merited a really symmetrical framing.
