Blue Mosque
by Helen Betts

Istanbul, Turkey

This is the famous Blue Mosque, or Sultanahmet Camii. Although it doesn't appear to be appropriately named, the tiles in the interior are blue. There was a special celebration going on (with fireworks, which I couldn't get set up in time to capture, much to my dismay) and a light and sound show.

The reflection and tree silhouettes are my favorite components of this image. Wonderful eye, Helen.---Deb

I like the lighting and night contrast of the interesting structure here too, Helen...this time with the bonus of a beautiful reflection. MFC
