The Blue Mosque

Istanbul

The interior of the Sultanahmet Camii. Shortly after the visitors were requested to leave for prayer time. In 39 years time, I was here before, this Mosque didn't loose anything of its glance.

Istanbul, the city of 2.562 Mosques, shrinking by the rising skyscrapers, the new city-orientation points but also a city of countless cats, a city of endless traffic jams but still covered all over by the voice of the Imam calling up for prayer to the more the 10 million habitants.
