This was taken at Aya Sofya, which was built as a Byzantine church, then was converted into a mosque when the Ottomans took Istanbul and finally was designated a museum by the modern Republic of Turkey, a monument to two of the world's great monotheistic religions. This is a juxtaposition of a mosaic of the angel Gabriel with a huge Muslim medallion that one sees in some mosques. The idea was my husband's, who tried to capture it with my V1, which unfortunately couldn't cope with the low light.
Please respect each other's work - do not delete, move or edit entries - thank you!
