Reaching for the Heavens

Ankara, Turkey

This is Kocatepe Mosque, the largest and most magnificent in Ankara. I decided against correcting the perspective too much because straightening the minarets ended up squashing the mosque.

Thank you, everyone. Awais, the only person I know is buried on the grounds of Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque) is Sultan Ahmet I, who had it built. I have several pictures of Sultanahmet, along with quite a few other mosques of Istanbul in this gallery:http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/istanbul_revisited&page=all . You have to look all thru the gallery as they are scattered around. Helen

Beautiful shot - I love the sharp details in the mosque and the contrast with the black sky!
